Dear Friends and Family,
Today I turn 4 months old! I went to visit the doctor this morning and had my well-baby check-up and got another set of shots (ouch)! I weighed in at 11 lbs. 12 oz. and I'm 25 inches long. Apparently, I'm going to be "long and lean" as they put it. I checked out well and the doctor was happy with me.
Overall, I'm happy and doing well. I smile all of the time and love to interact with others. I'll coo and talk to most anyone. Mommy says I'm easy going and very content.
I drool like crazy and have recently found my thumb! Yes, I think this is the preferred sucking finder. However, I'm still a little uncoordinated at times and my fists seem to sneak into my mouth more often then the thumb as of yet. Sometimes I even try to suck on my fists while nursing and this drives Mommy nuts. She has to hold my hand to keep it away from my mouth, sorry Mommy!
I'm also currently working on rolling over from my back to belly for which takes an awful lot of hard work and practice. I get stuck on my arm, the darn thing, and end up on my side. I've got rolling over from belly to back down and so tummy time is challenging for Mommy because I don't stay on my belly very long...hee-hee! She is always flipping me back over onto my belly. I don't think she realizes that I would rather be on my back, silly Mommy. She must like this game because we play it often!
Anyway, every night I sleep about 12 hours straight and wake in the morning around 5:30 or 6:00 for a feeding. I usually take 2 naps during the day and find myself sound asleep for the night around 6:00pm. Mommy likes having a little freedom at night to enjoy her dinner and play with Cameron while I'm dreaming away. I'm happy to be so accommodating!
While I'm up and awake, I enjoy playing with my rattles and chew toys and interacting with my brother and laughing at the silly things he does. I also enjoy swinging, front pack and stroller rides and of course rolling around on the floor. Just the other day Cameron was jumping on Mommy and Daddy's bed and singing to me and this had me laughing so hard I actually wet my pants (funny I know). I laughed even harder when he would jump up high and land on his bottom right in front of me and laugh. I'm not so sure why this was so funny, it just was! I guess I'm easily entertained.
Well, I must run now I have to run a few errands with Mommy and Cameron before bedtime. Our afternoons get cut short with such an early bedtime. All my love to you all! ~Audrey

Sounds like she is doing awesome. I can't believe it but at 2 months Jacob has far exceeded Audrey's weight. He is currently 14lbs 4oz and 24 inches long. We have a chunker. I'm excited for the longer sleep periods. It should be coming soon :)
