4 Months

Caroline went to the doctor for her 4 month check-up on 8/23, one day after her actual 4 month birthday. Doctor says she looks great and to make sure we stay away until her next visit at 6 months...we certainly will try our best:) Caroline weighed in at 13 lbs. 10 oz (50%), was 24.5 in. long (60%), and her big ol' head was in the 76%. She has now officially doubled her birth weight and then some!!
Caroline:

• You continue to be such a sweet, easy going baby. How did we get so lucky?!?
• You are drinking a consistant 7 oz. every 4-4 1/2 hours.
• The doctor told us we could try you with cereal (WOOHOO), so we will see how you do!
• You are still an awesome sleeper...going to bed between 8 and 9 p.m. and sleeping almost 12 hours.
• Over the past couple days, you have discovered your feet, which you now enjoy grabbing with your hands. Fortunately, you haven't tried eating those yet!
• Also, very recently, you seem to love reading books with daddy and mommy even more. You now find pleasure in grabbing at the pages and feeling them.
• You are drooling EVERYWHERE!! You must get this from mommy, who was a ridiculous drooler by the time she was 6 months.

Where the Peaches Grow...

No, we are not in Georgia...the one and only peach state. We found our peaches a little closer to home, though I'm sure my parents wouldn't have minded if we had gone peach picking down there:)
On Saturday, we made the trek over to Belleville, Illinois to find some delicious peaches at Eckert's. We left the stroller behind, which ended up being a very smart decision. The ground was covered in peaches, so we avoided getting peach mush everywhere! Joe tried out the baby carrier for the first time. Caroline seemed to enjoy it, especially since she was able to look around at her surroundings.
We enjoyed eating peaches along the way, and we couldn't very well let Caroline feel left out:) She wasn't quite sure what to think about them. I suppose that's to be expected when all you drink is milk!
