4 month checkup stats

Hayden is growing up before our eyes. She is such a happy baby and only really gets upset if she's hungry (she is, a Vorhees after all), wet or tired. Jason and I joke that maybe we should stop at 1 since she is such a good baby. :)


She loves her exersaucer already and I love it because it keeps her occupied while I cook dinner or clean up!

Monkey (as we like to call her) had her 4 month checkup this week and all went well. She gained a whopping 4 lb., 1 oz. over the 10 week period since her last checkup. She is now 14 & 1/2 lb. and 25 & 3/4 inches long. She is in the 95% for height and 76% for weight.


Amazingly, she is gaining weight even though she spits up on me every chance she gets!

Developmentally she is doing everything she should be and the pediatrician warned me that we should think about childproofing in the next month or 2. I have several girlfriends with small children who help me see just how non-childproof our house is every time they come over. This should be fun. :)


Hayden loves her activity mat, a gift from Auntie Ashley & Uncle Nick!


She is starting to notice the dogs more which is pretty cute. Meg and Jake are both very good with her and Meg likes to snuggle with her already. :)

Things are settling down and I'm glad to be getting into a routine. Mondays and Wednesdays are my days at home, to catch up on housework, laundry, rest (yeah right), etc. Tuesdays we have bible study in the morning, lunch with Dad in the afternoon - a tradition we are going to try and start. Thursdays we have MOPS or Book Babies at the library. Fridays we celebrate the end of the week by doing something fun (garage saleing, going to the park, meeting up with friends, etc.)


We went on a swim playdate last week with Natalie & Ethan Penner, Hayden looked so cute in her suit I had to get a picture!
