Kaleigh Month 4

Month 4 has been a big month for us. The biggest news of course is that our adoption is now finalized!!  Yay!! Kaleigh has continued to grow, I seriously can't believe she is 4 months old (see, I told you I would say that every monthly post) At her doctor's appointment last week she weighed 14 lbs. 11 oz. Her head and length were both in the 95th percentile!! I never noticed her head being so big then twice this week I went to put a 3 month shirt on her and couldn't get it over her head-ha! I like to think it's so big because she is already so smart and needs a big brain to hold it all!! Here is our month in pictures:




 Happy Adoption Day!!



 Waiting for a call to finalize the adoption! 


We had the biggest play date ever!! We looked like a stroller posse!


We went for lots and lots of walks


Kaleigh got to meet her uncle Jeb and aunt Cathy in person (not just Facetime!)




Kendall came to visit!!



We went to see aunt Jaye and cousin Graham a couple of times. In case you didn't know, it is pretty much impossible to get a 6 mo. old and 4 mo. old to both look at the camera at the same time!


She started holding toys. This turtle is one of her favorites. 


I just think she's cute so I thought we needed another picture!


Turned 4 months old!!


We sure do love this little girl!

Things she is doing:
*still giggling (melt my heart)
*"talking" a lot more
*holding her toys
*sitting up with assistance
*she also wants to stand so she'll push against you until you help her stand up 

Things she likes:
*being outside (she will be screaming and then we take her outside and she immediately stops)
*holding on to her turtle
*putting things in her mouth (she tries to "kiss" the turtle a lot!)
*going for walks
*other kids (our neighbor's little girl was "tickling" her and she was just giggling and giggling!)
*believe it or not, bath time!!! yay!!! one night she was crying but we had to give her a bath so we put her in and she stopped crying!! 

Things she dislikes:
*there is still lots of crying going on when it's time to burp. It is really the craziest thing. She is so chill 90% of the day, but take that bottle away to burp and you are going to hear about it. Of course, she never does it when someone other than Heath or me is burping her and never if there is anyone else in the room. It's unbelievable, but I have video to prove she goes ballistic on us!! 
*when you don't do what she wants. A friend of our said "she's going to be a diva because she only cries when you do something she doesn't want and then the second you do what she wants she stops." Sad but true. We could be in trouble!!

We love this little girl so much and are so unbelievably thankful for her!
