4 Months

Kiley is 4 months old (as of Sunday).  It's hard to believe.  My pregnancy seemed to last forever & now time seems to be going so fast!  We weighed her using the Wii Fit (not sure how accurate that is!) & she's about 15 lbs.  Seems about right.  She's 25 inches long according to our measurments; she's not the easiest thing to measure!  She's definitely growing fast.  I remember when we got her carseat, I thought it would last forever with the maximums being 30 lbs. & 30 in.  Now I'm not so sure!  Oh well, at least we're still good for a while!
Kiley is awesome!  She is so much fun!!!  She is the happiest little baby, as long as she has food & sleep :)  We got her on a schedule & she is doing awesome.  She is actually sleeping better, I think (and so are we!)  It's not a super strict rigid schedule or anything.  We've learned that Kiley will talk to anything that has a face (people, toys, etc.)  She also LOVES books!  Brad reads to her pretty much every day.  They will lay on the floor in her room & he'll hold the book up & read to her.  She just looks at the pictures & makes cute little noises.  Another thing is that I think I have accidentally taught Kiley to make noises with her tongue!  I would stick my tongue out & blow so it would make a noise b/c it would make her smile.  Well, now she has figured out how to do it!!  It's really cute :)
Next week is Doctor week for Kiley.  On Monday she goes back to Dr. Cockings, who is the pediatric eye doctor.  He's a different kind of guy...pretty goofy, but he's a good doctor, so I can't complain!  Hopefully everything still looks okay with her eyes.  They are definitely not as crossed as they were, and a lot of people have told us that.  Her left eye though still seems to turn in the slightest bit.  I wouldn't even notice it if I weren't looking for it, so maybe it's normal.  She doesn't seem to have any trouble seeing or tracking objects or anything.  On Wednesday, Kiley goes to see Dr. Hanson, her pediatrician.  I'm really dreading her 4 mo. shots :(  I'd rather her be safe & healthy though.  I'm wondering what she's going to tell us about starting solids, since this is when a lot of people start.  We're leaning towards waiting till 6 months.  That is what the latest recommendations are.
Well, that's all that's going on with us.  I'm working the evening (3-11) shift tonight.  Hope I can stay awake!  I better go take a nap...
Brad is very good about taking pics of his & Kiley's day. 
On this day they ventured outside, so he put her hat on her. 
It's still way too big!LOL  But isn't she cute!?
