Four Months of Fun

According to our doctor, Michaela is growing well and is a healthy little gal. At her 4-month appointment today, Michaela weighed in at a whopping 12 pounds, 15 ounces (apparently I've been exaggerating how heavy Michaela is to those of you who have asked recently!) and is exactly 2 feet tall. We were told we should be expecting to see some rocking and rolling moves on Michaela's part in the next month or so. At this point it seems Michaela prefers rocking on her tummy like a beached whale to pushing herself up on her arms or rolling from back to front or front to back. That's okay, though, because for now I know that if I put her down in one spot, she will be there when I turn around again.

The official unofficial 4 month photos:

"Oh, hi Mom! It's great to see you!" (It's been so long...?)

"Looks like you won't put the camera down until I make some sort of cute face..."

"I am so bored of this photo shoot right now, and I'm on the verge of breaking down into tired hysterics as a result of my shots this morning."

And last but not least, just because some folks didn't believe me when I said I'd put Michaela in the laundry basket for safekeeping while I changed the sheets on our bed:
