Isla - 4 Months

Little Miss is 4 months old today! I cannot believe how fast every month seems to go. Today is also my first Mother's Day as a mother. It is amazing to think how much my life has changed over the past 4 months and to think that I used to not have Isla. I feel like she has always been mine and I have a hard time remembering what I used to do with all of my time! She has certainly brought Marshall and I so much happiness and love. We are totally obsessed with this little bug!

Her 4 month stats...

Weight: 15 pounds, 4 ounces; 90th percentile

Height: 25.8 inches; 95th percentile

Head Circumference: 16.6 inches; 80th percentile

Month Four Happenings...

Isla rolled over for the first time at 14 weeks old

She has started trying to sit herself up, we call it doing baby crunches

We celebrated her 4 month mark with her first ear infection (in both ears! Sad!)

She tries to eat anything that her hands touch

She has started wanting to hold our hands all the time

Isla has decided she no longer likes to ride in the car 

She has learned how to rotate herself around when she is laying down... she moves all over the place!

Her little pout and drool face are what I get for taking pictures at nap time. Haha!

Isla - 3 months

Little Miss is 3 months today! I cannot believe how fast time goes once you have a baby. We just think she is the most perfect baby that has ever been and still feel so lucky everyday that we have her. 

Our pediatrician doesn't do a 3 month well visit, so I have no stats to post this month.

Month three happenings...

Isla has become one of the most smiley babies I have ever seen

She has discovered her hands and is always chewing on them

She has started to prefer sitting up (held) over being cradled

She has started sitting in her Bumbo chair

Isla has begun to pick up toys and tries to eat them

She is becoming much better with tummy time

And best of all, she has fallen in love with her Daddy! (it is so cute to see them together)

1st Easter

The Easter Bunny had so much fun picking stuff out for Isla's first Easter. She has just recently started playing with toys and she still loves being read to, so she got a few new books and some small toys she can grab. Grams (Marshall's mom) bought Isla's the cute little purple dress and we thought it was perfect for her first Easter. 

I thought this last picture was funny because Isla kept slouching while I was trying to take her picture. We love the little personality this baby is getting!

Isla and Her Uncles

This is seriously my favorite picture ever. We took it the weekend of Isla's blessing. I LOVE seeing my baby with all four of my brothers.

Our Happy Baby

This little girl is so happy! She is exactly what I have been waiting for my whole life. This is what she looks like 95% of the time...

Isla's Blessing Day

On March 29th, Marshall blessed Isla in our ward. He did amazing and Isla slept through the whole thing! All four of my brothers and their families were able to come as well as my mom and Marshall's parents. We had a little brunch with everyone at our house after the blessing. It was such a special day and I am so grateful for my little eternal family.
