Four Months Later...

Our little cocobean finally hit four months old. The past four weeks has been amazingly fun. Dare I say she is the dream baby? She is smiley and cooing, sleeping well, starting to grab for things, interacting, and very much along for the ride. She is generous with her wild older brother, patient with her parents, and sweet with those she doesn't know. It is a complete 180 from where she started, and a very welcome and surprising change. i want to be around her all the time. I am excited when she wakes up, and I just think she is a super cool little person.
At her four month check up she weighed 10 lbs 6 oz (3%) and was 23 1/4" long (15%). Yes she is petite, but she packs a punch. I was a little concerned about her neck control, and Shulman did agree that it was on the lower end of where she should be for her age, but he didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. He thought over time it would get better, and was only indicative of her possibly crawling or walking later. All else was superb, and he agreed, she is super duper cute. She got her four month vaccines, urg, and we spent the remainder of the day at home training our new nanny Tina.
It seems too good to be true at this point. We all adore our new Marry Poppins, and are hoping that the fit works for all parties involves, and is a long term one. For now I am enjoying the feeling of trusting someone else with my kids, and starting to wrap my head around getting back into work. Hopefully after this next week of training I will feel ready.
