Well we now have a four month old, and as our pediatrician told us at Piper's checkup yesterday, Piper has finally "hatched" into her own little person! She's so smiley, moves her arms and legs like crazy when she sees us (or other people for that matter), reaches for everything, and in general, is our super happy baby. She is GREAT. 
We also got her latest stats yesterday:
We also got her latest stats yesterday:- Length: 25.5 inches (88th percentile)
- Weight: 15 pounds, 8 ounces (80th percentile)
- Head circumference: 16.5 inches (85th percentile)
Basically, she's a very well-proportioned little lady :-) The pediatrician also told us how they're diagnosing double digits of swine flu patients every day so the most important thing we can do for Piper right now is to keep the germs away. So scary ... luckily Reid and I both got the H1N1 vaccine on Monday, but by no means does that mean she can't get sick. Hopefully the germs will stay far far away!!
Piper also got to meet her Uncle Travis and cousin Copland this past weekend when they flew in from Colorado to visit. Nana and Papa were here too and she loved soaking up the extra attention everyone gave her. I will say it's still hard to catch the smiles on camera. I think she gets confused when the silver thing comes out and flashes lights at her ... 
We're also back on the cereal kick. We had tried it during her recent growth spurt and it just didn't go well. I think her tongue thrust reflex was still too much in play and the poor little thing seemed to get super frustrated when she wasn't getting food in fast enough to her liking. Now she's a champ! We tried again on Sunday and the tongue thrust is gone and she seems to really like this new development in her diet. We did rice cereal Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and then oatmeal today ... and either she was a hungry lady or she really liked the flavor because she was all smiles and talked throughout her meal today. It was absolutely adorable. I'm hoping that these extra calories will help too with the sleeping because the days of her sleeping through the night have definitely been few and far between since her last growth spurt. I, admittedly, got a bit spoiled by a good night's sleep and I'm ready to have it back again!
