4 Months

I can't believe it, Jocelyn will be 4 months on Saturday :(  Time flies by so fast!  We went in today for her 4 month check up, and it was fun as usual.  Gramma Joyce took Jocelyn all over the office to say "hello" to everyone and show them how big she has gotten....and to show off her super cute, over the top (but completely necessary) headband that Grandma Lynna got her for Christmas! Along with the precious onesie that says "The bigger the bow, the better the Mommy!" hehe :)

Our little tot...or should I say "chunk" weighed in at 15.4lbs (80th %) and is 24 1/2 inches long (50th %).  Dr. Fernandez said she is progressing just great, but mom and dad need to make sure she is practicing her tummy time (which she absolutely HATES, but what child loves it, right?).

At 4 months, Jocelyn is sleeping through the night (has been since 8 weeks...thank you sweet child).  She smiles at anyone who will make funny faces or sounds to her.  Her smile is so sweet, it just melts my heart.  However, it is incredibly difficult to catch on camera?!?  I see now why people purchase those really snazzy cameras that professionals use.  She also laughs sometimes, which is so cute!  It is kind of difficult to get her to laugh, but I truly look forward to the day when she laughs out loud at just about anything.  She LOVES TV, I mean absolutely LOVES it!  She will turn her head all the way around to see the screen...is that bad?  She will hold onto things if you put them in her hand.  She also has a death grip!  She will pinch the crap out of your neck if you aren't careful when holding her.  I can prop her up on my hip and she has pretty good control of her head.  I think she is taking after her daddy, because she is the most chill baby and doesn't get upset unless she is hungry or tired...that is it!  She is pretty predictable, and eats and naps around the same time every day.  Jocelyn still has no hair, or as I call it....old man hair.  She is bald on top, and has a little around the base of her neck :).

Jocelyn also LOVES the car.  The minute we put her in her car seat and get above about 50 miles per hour, she is out like a light!  However, if you slow down, she will wake up...weird, huh?  It is pretty obvious by her current weight that she loves to eat.  She is taking about 30oz of formula a day like a champ usually leaving nothing to spare.  She also loves to sleep on her left side?  If we are trying to get her to go to sleep, if we turn her on her left, she will quiet down and go right to sleep...weird?!?

Miss J does a whole lot of other cool things, but I won't bore you with them :)  She is such a wonderful happy baby, and we are so lucky to have her in our lives.  Derek and I say daily that we had no idea it was possible to love someone this much.
