*4 Month Check up!

Keira had her 4 month check up yesterday and all is well. She is a huge 11 pounds which puts her in the 10th percentile for her weight. For her height she is 23 3/4 inches long which puts her in the 40th percentile. When she was born her weight was in the 10th percentile so as long as she maintains that... we are happy. Within the next couple of weeks we will try giving her rice cereal. Her thrush has improved and is close to being gone. The doctor couldn't believe how active and alert our little Lemon is. She is constantly moving and just two days ago she started rolling over. She kicks her legs up so high and to the side that it flops her over and I don't think she even realizes what she's doing. We'll have to get on video and post it soon. Keira did very well with her shots yesterday and only cried for a few seconds. Her legs are sore and it's been sad to hear her cry but this morning she is doing a little better. We can't believe how BIG our LITTLE Girl is getting! We love her so much and we are having so much fun being a Mommy and Daddy... there's nothing like it!

*Cute Girlie Stuff!

Lately I've been into making cute flowers for Keira's headbands. I've been doing them with a friend and we exchange some of the flowers we buy and it's really inexpensive. As you can see... I've made a ton already and the funny thing is that I still want to make more. HA! They are fun to make and are so cute. They have little clips on the back that hook onto certain headbands. The bigger flowers look really cute on hats and beanies.

*URGENT CARE!

~ OUR POOR LITTLE LEMON ~

Keira has not been eating very well the past few days. If you've talked to me about her eating you would know that she's not always the best little eater. But the past few days have been HORRIBLE and she would always cry when I would nurse or give her a bottle. I thought at first she was just being a stinker and then was thinking that she had an upset tummy. The days just got worse where she wouldn't even try eating and the other day she only ate a couple ounces for the entire day. Well... yesterday before taking her in Brody noticed that she had a white tongue with spots. Yep... you guessed it... she has THRUSH! Poor Little Girl!!! We ended up having to take her to Urgent Care and they confirmed it was thrush. She is taking her medicine is doing much better already. Thank goodness! They weighed her at the appointment and she is a WHOPPING 11 POUNDS! LOL ~ I think she'll always be our Tiny One but maybe she'll gain a little more now that she's eating better. We were getting so worried about her and we are so glad we know what's going on and that it's treatable. What a relief!!! Next week we'll take her in for her 4 month check up and give you an update then.


~ Walking With Mommy ~


Keira LOVES walking with her Mommy! I go walking every morning with a friend if the weather permits it. I'm glad she enjoys her stroller and that we can take advantage of the nice weather we are having. If we were still in AZ it'd be way too hot for walking!

~ KEIRA IS 4 MONTHS OLD!

We can't believe how fast our little Lemon is growing. She is holding her head up so well and soon we'll start working on sitting up. I guess we should also start doing more tummy time... we are terrible with that!

This is Keira's HAPPY APPLE that she loves to play with. It used to belong to her Mommy and is 27 years old. I'm glad that she enjoys it too!


I love this picture of Keira even though she looks a little sad. Maybe it's because I was taking 100 pictures of her and she was done at 5. She's just so cute... I want to eat her up!
