4 Months Old!!!

I can hardly believe it, MJ is four months old. Time really flies by!
She has so much personality now. She's generally very happy, playful and giggly. She still loves taking baths, but now she delights in splashing me. She's trying really hard to master sitting up and rolling over from back to tummy.
MJ went to the doctor last Monday and officially weighs 12 pounds, 5 ounces and is 25 inches long. Her ear infections are all cleared up and she's a much happier little girl.

This past weekend, we all went hiking in Zion. MJ is still a little too small to fit in our hiking backpack, so we just strapped her in the stroller and stuck to some paved trails. Here's some pics of our adventure...

Just chillin' in the stroller.
Hanging out with Mom.
Getting her feet wet at the Narrows. The water was a little chilly.
Checking out some wildlife.We carried her stroller up over a couple dozen stairs to get to the top of the Weeping Rock trail. The view was worth it.

The Little Model

On Saturday we took at trip down to the big city. It had been like 3 weeks since we'd made a trip to Costco! I don't know how we survived so long.
While we were down there we decided to get portraits done of MJ. She's been growing up too quickly and we didn't want to easily forget the times when she was small.
The photographer and her assistant were a little... frightening. Consequently MJ didn't smile for any of her pictures. She was still adorable as always, though and we did get a few good shots.
Today, MJ went back to the doctor for a check-up on her ear infections. They've cleared up and her ears look healthy. They also weighted and measured her. She's now 12 pounds, 5 ounces and 25 inches long. That means she's in about the 85th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight. On Saturday (the 15th) she will be four months old. And, we'll be taking her for her first camping trip... that is if I can convince Jared to go.
