Makayla - 4 months

Makayla is 4 months & 3 weeks so at least I will get this post in before she is 5 months!  Even though the kids are so close together, I am always surprised and excited with how quickly babies develop at this age and the new discoveries they make every day.  Makayla is a joy to have in our family and she keeps the other kids entertained and they do the same for her!  A few stats for my own memory:

~She was 12 lbs 14 oz at her 4 month check-up which landed her in the 17th percentile.
~Rolled from tummy to back on December 23
~Rolled from back to tummy on January 22
~Sits up for short periods of time if she has a toy to hang on to for balance
~She wants mommy to put her to bed at night.  This means it is hard for me to get out of the house in the evenings!
~She is sleeping from 8 or 9 PM-6 AM most nights.  Naps are not on a schedule at all.  That is what happens to the fourth child - she gets carried along to whatever activities Hailey, Brynn, and Klayton have in the morning.

Excuse Hailey's mouth full of food in this video - she can make Makayla laugh pretty easily with her silliness!
