Adelaide Jane: 4 Months

Dearest Adelaide,

Forgive this post being a wee bit late. We were busy living it up over the holidays. In New York, Kentucky, & Florida. Once again, you are a jet-setting baby girl.

You are SO BIG these days. No really you weigh 16 pounds and are 25 inches long. You have consistently been in the 75% percentile for height but leaped from 50% to 90% for weight over the past two months. I love your little chunky cheeks and legs. You eat 7 to 8 ounces of formula 5 times a day. Good news, we are starting solids this week!

You smile and laugh all the time. Your Aunt Kendahl got you going one night and the two of you had a ball chuckling it up! I caught most on video and can't wait to show it to you one day.

You continue to be a good sleeper for mommy & daddy. You have mastered sleeping on your side. You just semi-roll yourself over in the bassinet and tuck your arms up. I love it because that is how mommy sleeps too!

Speaking of Aunt Ken, she delivered baby Cooper (your newest cousin) on December 27th, and although you haven't officially met as you were too young to go see her at the hospital, I know you will be best friends.

While in Kentucky, your cousin Bishop gave you a bath twice. It was the sweetest thing to see him be such a big helper. You just kicked your feet in the water and splashed around. He was so happy to help!

A big highlight of Christmas break was meeting your future ADPi big sis: Ms. Warren Webb. You girls had a little playtime while Mommy Webb and I caught up. (Warren's mommy is one of my closest & dearest friends from ADPi!) She always feeds this mommy when we visit too :) We love the Webbs!!

The biggest news of month 4 is that your first Christmas was a smashing hit! You were blessed with all sorts of lovely gifts from Santa, Mimi & Papa, Nana & Pops, and mommy & daddy. From baby UGGs to a horse rocker to a keepsake pillow to oodles of outfits to books galore. You certainly were a good girl this year!

We love you punkin'!

Love,

Mommy (and daddy)
