Four Months Already

I really don't know where the time goes.  It is crazy that Addison is already four months.  She is growing and changing every day.  She is such a happy baby and smiles and laughs all the time.  It takes very little to get a smile on her face.  Addi absolutely loves her brother to death.  All he has to do is look at her, and she lights up and gets the biggest smile on her face (I should be paying him for all of his help with getting her to smile for pictures).  Sometimes she just has to hear his voice and she immediately turns to find him.  Watching the two of them is one of the sweetest things.  It's amazing how much they already love each other.

The past two months have been busy.  Addison had a urinary tract infection that Darrell and I were both really nervous about.  It is extremely rare for a child to get a UTI, so when we realized she had one we were anxious to find out if everything was okay.  We were told that she could have a reflux problem and we had to take her to Texas Children's Hospital for some tests.  After all of that we found out it was just a fluke ordeal.

She had her four month checkup on Monday and the doctor said she looked wonderful!  She weighs 13 pounds and 10 ounces and is 23 3/4 inches long.  All of her measurements put her in the 50th percentile.  This is all new to us.  When Cade was this age he was in the 95th percentile for everything.  He also said that she is ready to try cereal and from there we can start introducing fruits and veggies.  This makes me a little sad because I can't believe she is old enough to start these things.

For some reason this picture wouldn't transfer in the right direction.  I think it's such a sweet picture so I put it on anyways.

Cade had his four year checkup a week and a half before and he is doing great too.  He had to have six shots (and did really well considering).  The doctor told me she was happy to see that his height and weight are proportional.  She said they very rarely see that these days.  Since his younger appointments, he is now in the 75th percentile for weight and he is in the 95th percentile for height (he is really tall for his age!).

He has had a couple of soccer games so far and is loving every minute of it.  He played defense for the first time last week and did really well...I think coach has decided that he will play defense permanently.  It is so much fun watching all of those kids play.  He even has two little girls from church that are on his team.

Things are good!!
