Lila's 4 Month Stats, and a whole lot more!!

I can't believe that Lila is already 4 months old!! Time sure does fly and it is truly amazing watching her develop, considering how different it is from Ava... She had her Dr.'s apt yesterday.. and she weighed in at 13 pounds 2 oz. almost 50% and she was 23 1/4 inches which is only 10-25%.. SHE IS A SHORTY!! (We don't know where that comes from??) The Dr said she is doing great.. I asked about starting her on food and he said really the only reason to start food is to fill them up and in result they will get less breast milk.. so he said she could probably hold off till 6 months.

Lila will still not take a bottle so he did say to try some cereal if I need to get away and that would maybe fill her tummy till I get back.. As for the sleepless nights.. Lila is still getting up 2-3 times a night.. I asked about it and he said if she is eating (and not playing or using me as a pacifier) then she needs it.. Which she is eating.. I am pretty used to it by now and I am grateful she just goes back to sleep right away. All in all she is doing AWESOME:)

Here are some cute pictures from the past couple of weeks..

We went to see Santa last weekend.. the theme was the Polar Express.. It was really cool!!
Of course Lila slept:) Here is Ava playing piano on Thanksgiving..
