4 months old

Wow. Wow. Wow. Where has time gone? How is Ashleigh already 4 months old? She is growing up way too quickly.

Ashleigh turned 4 months old yesterday. And how did we celebrate? By taking her to the doctor for her 4 month well check. She did great and even handled the shots like a pro- she only cried for about a minute! She is 25 inches long and weighs 11 lbs, 12 oz. She’s a bit on the small side, but the doc said she was fine!

She is such a happy girl. She smiles all the time, and we’ve even been able to coax out a laugh every once in a while (although she is very stingy about laughing! Or, maybe we’re just not funny…)!

Her monthly photo shoot was a bit more challenging this time around… she was absolutely fascinated by the lamb and the book. See?

She’s learning how to turn the pages in her book, though!

And just because she’s so cute (and we’re not biased, at all) here are some more pictures of Ashleigh!  (Can you tell we’re a bit camera-happy around here??)

One of the newest things she is doing is she always has her hands behind her head! She looks so relaxed!

Look! A baby pretzel!

Can she get any cuter??
