A Few Comparisons

Laney is 4 months old today! What a wonderful little baby she is. She is having fun playing on her blanket and hanging out in her swing. I love the way she's interacting with us all, but especially Brooks. She smiles at him and "talks" to him. Brooks get excited too and will comment: "Look, Mom! Laney's talking to me!" And of course he's talking in the high pitch voice that we use to talk to her, which just makes it all even cuter! On top of being a great little sister, Laney continues to be a great sleeper. She takes two 2-2 1/2 hour naps a day and a cat nap in the late afternoon. After her bath in the evening, she goes down around 8:00 just to start over the following morning around 6:30 (7:00 on the weekends).

My little four-month old is growing!
Weight: 10 lbs 11 oz (3%)
Length: 24 1/2 inches (50%)
She's actually the same length as Brooks was but she's a pound lighter. Pretty amazing when you consider that she was 6 weeks early and she's being compared to full-term babies.

Laney got to ride in the Baby Bjorn the other day while I pushed Brooks in the stroller:

Brooks still sleeps with his blankie, which is not quite as soft as it used to be. Here is Brooks with his special blanket back in the day:

I know the outfit is a little "boyish" but I saved it from Brooks because I loved it so much. I added the bow on Laney to add a "girly" touch.
