4 Months and Growing!

Took Corinna to the doctor's office for her checkup this week.  She is now 14 lbs 10 oz and 25.5 inches long.  That puts her at 75th percentile for weight and 90th for height.  She's a good sized baby.

It is amazing to me how fast she has grown.

Here is Corinna and Isaac when she was just 4 days old.  

And today.  

She looks enormous in Isaac's lap!

Isaac is a good big brother.  He likes to hold his baby sister, sing, and play games with her.  Corinna doesn't really "get" his games yet, but she seems to enjoy his antics and tolerate the volume.  

Corinna has lost the new baby "bobbly head" and has gained a neck.  When held horizontally, her back is straight, head up, and her arms and legs extended.  It's super baby!  She likes to bat at, grasp, and chew toys, but her favorite toys are her fingers and toes.  

She is easily our drooliest baby and soaks 4-5 bibs a day.  Corinna also likes to blow bubbles, hence her nickname, Baby Bubbles.  She coos, gurgles, and seems to carry on a conversation when you talk to her.

The girl is a good eater, obviously, and very efficient.  She typically breastfeeds every few hours.  Sometimes she likes to snack on and off, but usually she's all business and done in less than 10 minutes.  Corinna is now at the distractible age.  If her siblings are being loud, she'll pop off and crane her head to see what the excitement is.  

At night she likes to bounce to sleep on our large exercise ball.  A few weeks ago we had a temporary crisis when the ball broke.  Corinna had a couple of nights without it and was not pleased.  Order was restored when a new ball arrived.  

At night she sleeps between 6-7 hours at a time.  It is glorious.  And unprecedented among Ellis babies, I might add.  

We sure enjoy our sweet, happy, Baby Bubbles.
