Off the Charts and On Her Belly


Lila is 4 1/2 months now and she had a routine doctor's appointment last week. She is 18 lbs. 5 oz and 26 3/4 inches. They said she was "off the charts" for her percentiles..so we have a big girl on our hands.

The exciting news recently in the yellow house: Lila is rolling over like crazy. On February 27, she rolled over for the first time. It was a Friday and Clint took her to his parents house and I was going to meet them there later. They put Lila on a blanket on her back and then they all went outside to take care of something. When they came back about two minutes later, she was on her tummy just as happy as can be. When I arrived, I demanded to see this in person. Well, she didn't do it, so we decided to all leave the room and just peek around the corner. And sure enough, she rolled right over. Later on, I took her to my parents and we all did the same thing! She was only doing it when she thought no one was in the room, like she was looking around for us. Since then, she's rolled over about a thousand times. She loves being on her belly. I know the doctor says she needs to sleep on her back, but she just isn't having it. The picture above is how we find her after a nap.

I've decided to wait until at least six months to introduce any solids to her diet. She is still very content and I'm just not ready for the mess. Although it will be a lot of fun!!
