Bella is 4 months old!

Our girl is now 4 months old. She is getting so big. Her check-up went well. She has these dry kind of scaly patches on her feet/ankles. The doctor said to try vasaline and scrub them a little. It has helped a little. Then she found a heart murmur so we had to take her in for an echo cardiogram. The results are that the whole in her heart that everyone is born with has not closed up yet. It is still open a little bit but they are not worried about it. They are going to do another echo in a year to check on it again. We were glad to hear that. Other than that, she is doing great. Here are her stats:
Weight: 16 lbs 12 oz (although at her echo, 3 days later, she weighed 17 lbs) .......97th percentile
Length: 25 1/2 inches .......91st percentile
Head: 16.2 inches ......57th percentile
We love our little girl so much. She is such a blessing to our lives. She loves to smile and she has started to laugh/giggle. She seems to save her biggest smiles for her daddy though. She loves to have her "grandma time" every night after Rob goes to bed. She sleeps through the night, which we love. She has discovered her hands and likes to hold on to toys now. She is just so wonderful.








I also gave her some cereal for the first time today. She did really well. She hardly spit any of it out and she just gobbled it up. She loved it.

This is when she was about done, that is why there is some on her face.

She is just so cute!

She is a cutie! Maybe she will get the same curly hair as Macie - it could run on our side of the family!
