4 Months!

My sweet Brooklyn Bear is already 4 months. Blows my mind!!! She is still the happiest, easiest baby ever. For those of you who were with us through Reagan's infancy.... let's just say that Reagan was equally as precious, but they were NIGHT AND DAY. Brooklyn is so laid back and so easy; she eats and sleeps and poops and smiles. That is pretty much her. :) There are COUNTLESS answered prayers about her, but God just threw in an extra for me and made her an easy baby. I am so thankful. Medically, we have big appointments in the next couple of weeks, but hopefully I will have nothing to report. She is doing GREAT with her Physical Therapy, which you'll see in a minute. She loves to eat her hands and anything she can drag to her mouth. Loves her paci. Loves her Purple. Loves her Big Sister. Life is good.

At her appt yesterday, she weighed 14 lbs 12 oz (73%)

24 1/4 inches long (51%)

16.8 inches for her head (88%)

We got big heads in our family. She hasn't caught up to Reagan's 99% that R's had her whole life, but that is good considering her shunt. She's growing like crazy. Crazy!

Here are her 4 month pics in her chair with Mr. Beaver...

This post of Brooklyn's friend Kirkley, combined with this video, prove that they will be great friends. :) This went on for nearly an hour and a half the other night while I cooked then we ate dinner. She's not that quiet. :) Fits right in around here!

This next one will probably only be interesting to grandparents.... I mean, all babies roll over. But this particular Momma was SO STINKIN' PROUD of this roll! She has been working in PT really hard on building her upper body strength.... meaning that she does lots of tummy time and hates it. I hate it too. She usually just lays there and cries. Her therapist has shown me ways to try and get her to work and push up, and she just wouldn't do it. Until day before yesterday! She just pushed on up, looked at me, and rolled over. BOTH directions, rolling to her left and to her right! That is a big deal for her, since she already favors one side. So, there was much rejoicing around here. And the pictures show how proud she was of herself! She just grinned and grinned! It was great. She is a pro now!

Cutie girl. So, that is the low down on B for now. We keep praying for nothing but great news on the little squirt... she's a champ! :)
