4 months


We are growing by leaps and bounds in the Thurman house. At 4 months, Addison is 16lbs 5oz. and 26 1/4" long.

Tonight I went through our normal ritual of putting Addison to bed: First a bath, then a story. Turn on her CD and lay her in her crib. Rattle her bear and give it a kiss. Rattle the bear and let the bear give her a kiss. Wrap her arm around her bear. Lean over, give my girl a kiss. Lights off.

But tonight Addison was unhappy. After running a fever all day from her shots yesterday, she was just grumpy and whiny in general. I tried talking to her and smiling. You'll do literally anything to make your child smile. But it wasn't until she heard her daddy sneeze all the way downstairs, that her frown went away. Not JUST went away though - she laughed out loud. It made me laugh too. So then, of course, I spent the next few minutes in a fake sneezing fit just to experience that giggle again. So precious. So much fun.

Oh wow, she's so sweet!! Is she sitting up by herself? I can't believe she's 16 pounds. Sarah is 10 months this week and she is only 17 pounds. She was 10.3 at birth but she has slowed down considerably since then!! Can you believe how quickly the time goes by?!
