Wow!!! I can't believe our little angel is already four months old! This month was full of new milestones for Calleigh... as well as her continuing to fine tune old ones. She saw Dr. Crow for her four month well visit yesterday, and got her second round of shots... this was not fun for her or Mommy :( She did pretty well considering all the poking and prodding though... poor baby! She's still a little munchkin weighing 12 pounds 14 ounces and is 23 3/4 inches long. This barely puts her in the 30th percentile for both height and weight. But since her height and weight are proportionate to each other, Dr. Crow isn't the least bit concerned about her being on the small end. She's happy, healthy, and growing and that's what really matters :) We get to start rice and/or oatmeal cereal now so stay tuned for updates on that new adventure in next month's post!
This month I was able to finish my first project for Calleigh. Before she was born I decided that for each monthly photo I would buy a different yard of fabric for the backdrop and then make her a quilt using all twelve fabrics to give to her on her first birthday. Since the quilt won't use the entire yard of each fabric, I plan on making her other things throughout her first year using the remaining materials. My first project was a cute little blanket for her to take to daycare with her... another new adventure in next month's post :)
