The past 4 months have definitely been busy, but each day I look at this sweet little baby and wonder what in the world we did without her. Of course, I wondered the same thing after Reese was born and thought to myself "what did I do with my time before her?". Again, I ask myself "what did I do with my time before 2 little ones?". I have the privilege of working from home and the privilege of having Miss Quinn right here with me. I didn't take any certain amount of "leave" this time around, but have managed to keep business running fairly smoothly with my her right by my side. In fact, I've also started a side business, but more on that in another post :)
She truly has been such a joy and her smile is absolutely contagious! If she's having a fussy moment, I love taking her to look in the mirror and her mood immediately changes to one of absolute delight, and mine does too! She's yet to officially roll over, but I watched her on the monitor today throw her legs to the side and wiggle around in her crib until she had done a complete 180 with her head ending where her feet began when I put her down. I'm sure more mobility is only a matter of time.
Reese has become quite smitten with her as well. It's so invigorating to hear her say I love you to her baby sister and talk in that baby voice, pinching her sweet meat as I do. Can we say mini-me?
So since we're playing catch up, here is how she's grown:
1 month: 9 lbs 15 oz (73%), 22.25 inches (90%)
2 months: 10 lbs 13 oz (40%), 22.5 inches (50%)
4 months: 12 lbs 12 oz (20%), 24.75 inches (60%)
So far, much smaller than her big sister, in fact I think the height at our 4 month check this morning was a bit inflated. So perhaps she's going to look like her daddy and be short like me?
