Marlena had her 4 month checkup a week ago today. She's continuing to grow very well. She weighs somewhere between 15 and 16 pounds - forgot the exact amount, but I was surprised because I thought she's be a little heavier. Height/lenght-wise she continues to be above average. She measured 25 1/4" long. She's long for her age (she's actually outgrowing her 3-6 month sleepers), but average weight-wise.
The doctor said she's very healthy. The doctor also said we could start introducing rice cereal. I think we'll wait a bit longer.
She also had 4 shots, poor baby. She didn't like that at all. She did sleep all night that night... that was pretty great, but she hasn't repeated that since. It doesn't look like any teeth are comming....

Look what I can do!
Marlena seems to discover a new skill on an almost daily basis. First she found her right foot, grabbing it with her right hand. Then she found her left foot with her left hand - this is very helpful when changing her diaper because she's practically holding her bum up.
As you can see, she's progressed even further, her mouth has discovered her toes... At first it was with Daddy's help... but the other day she got her toes to her mouth all by herself... Is this a useful skill to have? Maybe if she joins Cirque du Soleil...
We got some great pictures of her dressed up on Mother's Day. A nice outfit we got from Todd and Liz. Of course, then we had to put her underwear on her head as if it were a hat... Poor Marlena!
