September 1 ... Kendall is now 4 months old ... it is hard to believe, I know! (She's 4 months, but her "corrected age" is 7 weeks old.)
She had her 4 month check-up, so here is some of her growth & development updates:
- weight 9 lbs 7 oz (which is the 45th percentile) and height 21 3/4 in (the 64th percentile) ...
she's moved from the 6th percentile at her 2 mo. check-up to the 30th percentile at her 3 mo. check-up to the 45th percentile at this 4 mo. check-up! We are just so thankful for all the growing God continues to do in Kendall's little body! She is now growing out of all her Newborn size clothing and moving into the 0-3 months size ... yeah!
- sleeping at night ... we got the okay to let her sleep through the night without waking her up for feedings ... yeah! Because of her low-weight, over the past few weeks the longest she's been able to sleep at night is 5 hours ... if she hasn't woken up to feed within 5 hours, I have to wake her up. So, now, she is allowed to sleep as long as she'd like ...
for her 1st night, she slept a total of 6 hours before she woke up for the next feeding! (Her pediatrician said not to be surprised if it takes her a while to sleep past 5 or 5 1/2 hours, so we thought 6 hours was pretty great for her 1st night!) Yeah, Kendall!
Kendall's development ... over the last few days, we have seen some major progress in Kendall's development! She is bouncing herself in her bouncy chair (and Cassie loves to lay by her when she's in her chair); She is smiling back at us (quite possibly the best thing ever!); She is watching and tracking us & toys with her eyes (so much fun!); and She is having less and less fussy/colicky times ... woo hoo! She is really changing and growing and we are having a blast with her!
We got her 4 month professional pictures taken on Friday, so I'll post the web link to those once we've got it ... stay tuned.
In the meantime, here are a few of Kendall over the last week or so ...

and of course, Cassie is near by ... wherever Kendall is, there you will find Cassie!

on the road again ...
all tuckered out from tummy time ... and look who is in the background, asleep as well ...
Now, especially for you non-dog-lovers, Cassie isn't allowed on Kendall's mat (or anything Kendall is wearing or using), but you can see from this angle that her nose has made it on the mat ... she just can't get close enough, apparently. Cassie is really good with Kendall and doesn't bother her or have to be right on her, but does need to be close to me and Kendall.
she is precious and i am so glad that i could meet her. we just stayed the night with sarah and Jeff Henderson. had a blast!
