Weighty issues

Ms. Gem had her 4 month check-up yesterday (even though she is 5 months in a few days) which means weight check and SHOTS!
Everyone we run into comments how big she is, but this cutey came in at:
15 lbs. 2 oz. and 25 3/4 inches long. Sounds normal to me.



Where has the last month gone? I'm feeling like time is speeding up.I don't want my baby to grow up. So I just hold her and cherish everything about her. She is entering a very fun stage though. Jordan loves it when he can play with the babies more than just laying there sleeping. She loves to grab everything within range and it goes straight to the mouth. Tummy time is still a struggle and she doesn't roll over yet which explains the flat head. Uncle Richard says she's got a slight bump on the left side of her head and I figured she favors turning to the right because I always hold her in my right arm.

We kicked her out of our room for one night before she got a cold and now she's back in so I can make sure she doesn't choke on anything. Poor girl- her cry is pretty wimpy right now from her cold. She sounds like she's lost her voice. So when she got some pokes yesterday she tried to cry hard, but it just sounded pathetic. This made Gemma extra sensitive yesterday and we had to be extra careful when holding her.

She loves pulling her blankets over her face when she sleeps.
She tends to cry whilst we drive in the car.
She's figured out how to pull down her headband and then slobbers all over her bows.She smiles big for mommy, cracks-up at Jaxon, and tolerates Kodee. Daddy thinks she always cries with him, but I think the whole "Daddy's girl" attachment is beginning to take place.
I just love my Gemma girl!!
