Our little "Sprout" is growing, growing, growing! And time is flying by, as usual. Mommy missed the 3-month photo op with the cute sticker, but I managed to make it happen for 4 months. At her 4-month checkup, Kate weighed 13lb. 4oz. and measured 23.25in. She's the paragon of baby health, and thoroughly charmed our favorite pediatrician, Dr. Young.
Everyone seems to notice the red in her hair (which is finally calming down a bit)...we really think she is taking after Chad's grandmother, Catherine Dryden (also a Cate!), who had kinda-crazy strawberry blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. Well, Grandma was also TINY, and after her 4-month checkup we learned that our Kate is only in the 10th percentile for her height! So maybe we are right, and she is Mimi v. 2.0. We will see!
This Mommy is way too busy to be tracking the milestones like I did with Tess! But Kate is right on track, enjoying her tummy time, learning to grasp things, and finding her voice. It's true that every baby is different, and while Tess was on a very consistent eat/play/nap schedule, Miss Kate seems to have a mind of her own. She is becoming an expert cat-napper, whether in the car or in her swing or on the couch after a bottle. I am learning to let go of any ideals I had about nap times...and go with the flow, like Kate does.
