4 Months

September has been a busy month for all of us. In just one month Audrey has experienced her first cold, her first wedding and her very first taste of cereal, not to mention her first photo shoot. Aunt Sara and Uncle Dave tied the knot earlier this month and Audrey got to walk down the isle with her dad (...made me choke up a bit knowing he'll be doing that again some day in the future). Her cousins were in town for the wedding too and I believe her cousin Jackson became very smitten with her. Unfortantely the boys were sick with a mild cold when they arrived so naturally Audrey come down with it as well. It really wasn't that bad though, a couple of stuffy nights then she was back to normal ...strong immune system I guess. Uncle Zach took some really great photos of the three out at his Aunt Kim's Castle (as Jackson calls it). Audrey was Miss Serious as usual although I have to say, within the last few weeks she has lightened up a bit however you'll be lucky to catch it on camera. If you smile at her she'll always smile back and her dad can really work up a giggle session. At her 4 month check up she is now weighing in at 16lbs, 13oz and she's 25in long. The doctor suggested we try some cereal soon so we took the plunge tonight. I think it's safe to say she's not a big fan of rice cereal, but then again who would be. We'll try again and hopefully graduate to better solids soon. Now all we need to work on are naps. She sleeps great at night, usually 11-12 hours getting up once or twice, however she dosen't nap very well. I'm lucky if I can get 15 mins out of her. I'd rather her sleep 8 hours at night and nap more during the day however I've learned that you just can't bargin with a 4 month old. She is who she is and I love her just the same.
