18 weeks old

Joslyn Olivia has turned 4 months old! She is so much more amazing every day that goes by! Just when we think she can not possibly get any cuter.... she does! She is now able to sit with little assistance, which to us is HUGE! She was giggling... but has since gone back to squealing with excitement. Which is just fine with us.... it is sooo cute!
She is really showing a lot of interest in food. She will try to grab our plates or food if they are in her reach now. Boy is she getting fast!

In the past couple of weeks, she has really noticed Mackinac. She will watch him walk by and she will even see him from across the room. Sometimes it looks like she is thinking "you are different! What are you?" Her face is so funny.

What is new? Well now we have to strap her into her bouncy seat! She has gotten close to wiggling out of it... so we would rather be safe than sorry. (No more visits to Scottish Rite please.)

I measured her the other day. She is 26 inches long!!!! That means she is in the 90-95% for her length! She is one long baby girl! But her weight is still in the 10%. If we were right she is 11.5 pounds, but we find out when we go back to the doc for her 4 month well visit next week. We are hoping for 12 pounds by then. She is not losing weight and she is gaining each month. But we still wonder if they will label her "failure to thrive." We do not think so.. as she is growing and meeting all of her milestones (some sooner than normal.) But if everyone could add a prayer for healthy weight gain, we would be greatly appreciative.

I say it every day... but sometimes I just don't think I can feel it or say it enough... I just love our little miracle sticky bean. Just looking at her is a miracle in itself. What a wonder she is! What a wonder!
