Four months!

Look how big Cora is! She is now a "regular baby" instead of a tiny, young baby. I can carry her around on my hip, the "mommy hold," and she entertains herself with her toys now. Her personality so far is very pleasant, smiley and social. She also has started fussing when she wants our attention - she'll make a lot of noise, and then start smiling when we come near.

Cora is 13 pounds, 3 ounces, and about 24 1/2 inches long, putting her betweent he 25th and 50th percentile for both categories, according to an online chart. We'll get the official numbers next week when we go back to the doctors' for her next round of shots. She has outgrown a lot of her clothing, and I spent much of yesterday washing her new, bigger clothes and putting away the newborn and 0-3 month items.

She's now back on the Pacific Standard Time, thankfully. We flew home Sunday night, and she was sleeping in the evening and then awoke at 2 Monday morning. On Tuesday, she awoke at 3:30, and on Wednesday she didn't get up until 5. Thursday our day together started at 7, and on Friday and Saturday she slept until 8, after fussing at about 6:30 and then returning to sleep (Good Baby!!).
