Caroline Ann is now Four Months Old.
She's growing like a weed. She is on the verge of being double in size since she was born.
We decided to have her 4 month check up when we got back from a vacation so she wouldn't be miserable on our drive. (another round of shots makes for a pitiful baby)
- Caroline is now in the 42 percentile for her weight. (which at 2 months old, was in the 8 percentile).
- She is in the 50 percentile for her length. (smack dab in the middle)
- Her head? 97 percentile. (we always joked about her having a big head, haha- like her daddy :) it's okay though, she rocks it well- it fits her proportionately.)
She is growing so good. Becoming such a big girl. She is so full of life and personality.
Every day I look at her with such joy & hope. She is a constant reminder to me that miracles do happen and that God is so good. He listens and watches. He makes you wait patiently for the right timing and then he blesses you with such wonderful gifts, i.e. Caroline.

I find it amazing just how much has changed in the past few months, even just from last month. The little changes and growing progress that she makes every day is so cool to watch (could just be that I'm so amazed because I'm her mom).
We are starting solids this week. Rice cereal here we come. Apparently we should have started it already. Our little girl loves to eat and is probably on the verge of overeating each day. I'm actually really excited to start solids. After we get past the week of rice cereal, I get to be Caroline's chef & we will figure out which veggies and which fruit she enjoys the most!
I'm looking forward to the fun, frustrating, mess that I have ahead of me :)
