Chloe is 4 months

Our little Chloe turned 4 months on St. Patrick's day. What a good luck charm! She really has changed - even in the last month. She is focusing so intently on the world and people around her. She loves to giggle and smile, which we just love. Her brother always puts a smile on her face, which is a good thing, as I'm sure there will be some sibling fights and tough love the older they get. :) One of her favorite positions is with us holding her up and standing, so perhaps we'll have an early walker. I guess we will see.

She really is a mellow girl, which is so different from her very busy brother. Now that we've got the hang of this parenting thing - or at least a little more than we did two years ago - we feel we are a little more easy-going with things and hopefully that is rubbing off on her. I even feel like I have less questions for the doctor when we go to appointments. In fact, during one of my calls to our doctor when Chloe had her first cold, even the nurse commented "you must be a second-time mom - you sound pretty calm."

We were slightly surprised by her 4-month stats - she had grown 3 inches since her 2-month visit and only gained a few pounds. Tall and lanky - whose daughter is she? :) Here's her stats rundown:
- Height - 24 1/4 inches
- Weight - 12 pounds, 15 oz
- Head circumference - 16 1/4 inches
