Lauryn had her 4 month check up today...and did fabulous! She is a big girl! :) She now weighs 16 lbs. 3 oz. (95th%) and 24.5 in. (50th%). She did so good! Even with her shots, she didn't cry until the 3rd one and only for a few seconds (but, it still broke mommy's heart!). And then she was smiling at the nurse like no big deal! :) The doctor said she has a wonderful disposition...and she does, such a happy baby. We are so lucky for that! I tried rice cereal with her last weekend, and she was not a happy camper (but, the boys didn't like it either). We'll try again in a little while, and if she still doesn't go for it, we'll move on to oatmeal. She had her 4th physical therapy session for her torticollis, and she is doing great. The therapist could tell a big improvement on her neck range of motion. We will continue to work with her. She has appointments every other week until May and then, hopefully, once a month. Here are some pics over the last few weeks.

Look at that face!
And we are back to swaddling, after having some restless naps unswaddled and her waking up screaming, because her security blanket was on her face...no more blankies! I will swaddle her as long as she wants! She is loosely swaddled and loves to get her hands up to her mouth with her arms on her chest and suck her 2 middle fingers! It puts her back to sleep most of the time!

Last Friday we went to the zoo with my friend Susan and her 3 little ones. We had a beautiful spring day. Yes, 2 adults and 6 kids 3 and under, it was a little crazy! :) But, we pulled it off and we all had a great time especially Andrew, Matthew, and Clark. I did not get many pics...I wonder why?! Did we have our "hands full" as everyone in the world says! The boys had so much fun, they talked about riding "Thomas" the train from the minute we got there! All the kids did really well. The boys were so tired, they passed out in the stroller on the way back to the car. As you see in the 1st picture, they were anxiously waiting on mommy as I unpacked the car and got Lauryn in the Bjorn.

What fantastic pics Lynne!! Your boys are such hams. They crack me up every time.
Funny- I just saw your comments about the Etsy barrettes. I highly recommend Maya Papaya. She's actually local to NH and makes amazing wool barrettes. She even makes these Itty Bitty barrettes that would be perfect for the amount of hair Lauryn has! Good prices too! : )
