4 Months

We had Maren's 4 month appointment today. Here are her stats:

Length: 24.25"- 50%
Weight: 13.5 pounds- 50%
Head circ: 41.5 cm- 75%

She is growing so fast. Dr. Foster also told me we can start Maren on some rice cereal. Wonder how she will like that?!

Back to work!

I go back to work on Monday! Seriously- where did the time go? Maren is 15 weeks now so I guess I should be glad I got such a long time off with her. I did have a full month longer than the rest of my co-workers. I do think it will be nice to not be so tight on money- and I know Jared is happy I am going back. Hopefully I can save money from each check so next summer I can spend it with my daughter instead of working. I am grateful that I have a job I love- even though it will be so hard to leave my baby everyday. I am also grateful she will be with Nana & Papa (Jared's parents) so I know she will be loved.

This picture of her cracks us up. When she drinks her bottle she has to have her hands somewhere by her head. Usually just like the picture shows. If she is really tired then she puts her hand behind her head and plays with her hair. I pulled her bottle out and snapped this picture.
