Kiera 4 Months

(I bet you can guess who took the picture with the sword!)

Kiera is nearly 4 months old already! I haven't really had time to sit down and record her milestones so I better get to it! Kiera reminds me a lot of Luke when he was a baby. She is a night owl and sometimes we can't get her to go to sleep until after 10, but once she's down, I don't hear much from her until 6-7 the next morning. I definitely appreciate this sleep. I have hope that once she begins solid food, she will go to bed a little earlier so that Matt and I have some time to see each other kid-free in the evenings. Overall, she's a very happy baby. She smiles at nearly anything we do - so sweet :). She also knows what she wants and will let us know (very loudly) if she isn't getting it. Kiera's been on a nursing frenzy AGAIN so we assume she's growing AGAIN. I looked back at Luke's development and he grew a ton during this time frame too. She has her next doctor's appointment in a little over a week. Our scale puts her at about 14 pounds. She never seems full during the day, but she sleeps well so I can't complain too much. We'll see if she can go ahead and start solids when we go in. Luke started at about this age, but I know nowadays they try to wait until closer to 6 months so we'll have to see.
