Big 4 Month Old!

Estelle turned 4 months old last Sunday. She is rolling over both ways and loves being on her tummy. We had her 4 month appointment on Monday. She weighed 15 lbs 14 oz and was 26 inches long. She is in the 95th percentile for height and weight. And let me tell you this baby loves to eat!
Hanging out on Daddy's lap at the beach.
This was our first attempt at rice cereal. I decided to make my own brown rice cereal. I just ground up short grain brown rice in a food processor to a fine powder, then cooked it on the stove. It keeps in the fridge for a few days so I just heat a little up each day. I am not sure if I'll keep making my own, it may be cheaper but it is a little time consuming. She wasn't sure what to do the first time, but we've been working on it all week and I think she's go it down now. Now she knows what's coming and kicks her little legs in excitement.
Estelle has been such a sweetheart and our family is smitten with her! She's not much of a sleeper during the day, but usually does well during the night. She is a social butterfly. She is happiest when someone is talking to her or when she is naked. She loves her nakey time! Sometimes when she is crying and I am not sure what the problem is I just take all her clothes off and she's usually happy again. She also loves to talk. She makes lots of goos and ahhhs and loves the sound of her own voice. We are so thankful for her!

What a doll! This little girl is adorable. 100th percentile for cuteness. You're not the only one smitten.
Making your own rice cereal. Of course. Did you harvest the rice yourself? I went to the store and bought a box all by myself once. Kind of the same thing.
Sooo...the likes to hear herself talk and the obsession with nakey time, is that hereditary?
