4 Month Kahlan Update

We’ve hit the four month mark and have a beautifull and engaging baby girl to show for it. Kahlan is a wonder to behold. Full of smiles and good natured to the core, her days are now full of mommy time and endless adventure. She has discovered her toes (and how to gnaw on them), broke through her volume control and burst forth with joyous screeching giggles.

Still at the top of her charts, her new stats are as follows:
15 lbs 11oz
25″ tall
16.5″ head

That explains my huge biscept!

Teething is ramping up. The drool flows in gushes and everything in reach is a chew toy (including Mommy & Daddy). With the doctors ok we have begun letting her taste some fruits, no solid offerings just licks of juice, and she’s loving it. Watching her eager little open burst mouth when we pour ourselves orange juice is a crack up. She about took off Daddys finger when he offered her a taste!

Baby Update

Our 2 week appointment has come and gone, they grow up so fast already! Kahlan is the picture of health. She’s well past her birth weight coming in at 8lb 9oz & 21″ long. The juandice is about gone now, just the slightest tinge to her button nose. The Dr says this is totally normal and is well on it’s way to disapearing. We are just starting to see some baby acne, but again completely normal for her age.

She is hitting her first of many growth spurts and is keeping mommy very busy with the increased diapers and feedings. She is already in the 75th percentile and the Dr is speculating she will be tall, probably taller than mommy!

Many more firsts this week but our favorite is the loss of her umbilical stump. Firstly, no one really gets across how scary that thing looks as it falls away. YUK! And second, there may not be anything more fun than bathtime, definitly daddy’s girl
