4 Months Old...

Hanging out in the hotel in Michigan...she's a traveling girl

Well, we have a big girl now...she is now 4 months old as of Feb. 17th! We also had our 4 month doctor check up & we are "perfect" as the doctor would put it. Jordan now weighs 15 lbs 14 oz & is 26 inches long! She is in the 95th percentile for her height & is off the charts in her weight. Haha. We have a sturdy girl. The doctor said she is just growing & growing. She is very healthy & happy so we aren't going to change a thing. Her doctor did give us the go ahead to start her on rice cereal. Nate & I fed her & video taped the first feeding...what a mess that was & her face was priceless. With more feedings to come I'm sure she'll get the hang of it soon.

We are so blessed to have such a great baby. She has been sleeping through the night since the beginning of December. She goes down for bed @ 7/7:30 & sleeps until 5:30/6:00 the next morning. She loves to babble, eat her fists/fingers, she just recently found her thumb & loves to use that instead of her pacifier (which we don't want), she is scooting w/ her legs just hasn't figured out how to use the arms too. We are sure she'll get it eventually. We love to play w/ her & watch her everyday. She amazes us all the time.

Other news in the last month....we drove to the U.P. in Michigan to get Nate's old snowmobile we had left there 2 years ago. We bought a new sled & they were to sell our old one for us, well, they never did so we are going to sell it ourselves. First Nate has to fix it up & then it will hopefully sell soon. We drove 6 1/2 hours there & 6 1/2 hours back w/ a 3 1/2 month old...it was an adventure! Jordan did really well, but I was in the back of the truck the entire trip. I loved playing w/ her the whole time. We then stayed over night & headed back home the next day. It was hard to be there & not sled, but we made it as much fun as we could. Nate & I are heading to the U.P. again this coming weekend for a snowmobile trip w/ another couple. Jordan will be staying @ Nate's parents for the weekend. We are so excited to get some riding in & have an adults weekend. We will go wherever there is snow ;-)

Well, not much else is new w/ our world....just enjoying being parents, & working. We hope everything in your world is going well. We have posted some pics for your enjoyment...our little pumpkin is getting so big & we just love her more all the time!

Love xoxoxo,
