Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

AJ hit the 4 month mark on August 23rd, and weighed in at 13 lbs and was 24 inches long.  So she doubled her birth weight in a mere 4 months, rather than the average of 6 months!  She did come into this world as a little peanut, so it was nice to see her grow so fast!  She is 50% on height and weight, and even on head - i only mention that because my side of the family (myself included) is known for our large noggins.  So far she is faring well in that regard

Lots of milestones have happened
 - Rolled from back to front on Aug 12th - she looked quite surprised and didnt attempt again for about a week, but she proved she could do it!
 - Rolled from front to back Sept 2nd - she was on the brink of rolling for several days, so it provided some much needed entertainment for me and Pete
 - Ate cereal (rice cereal looks like fish flakes) - August 30th


She has developed into a very happy, delightful baby!  She is not quite sleeping through the night but we are very close.  She goes throughout the night (8p-5a) without a feeding, and is waking up once or twice but falls back to sleep easily with a pat on the head or a pacifier.  We were sort of doing ferber method sleep training, but since she is falling asleep pretty quickly it hasnt been too painful (knock on wood!)

Aj is also quite the traveller - with several of our friends getting married this year, she has been all over the place.  She has already been to 6 of the 50 states - quite impressive!
 - Illinois
 - Wisconsin
 - Minnesota
 - Massachusetts
 - New Hampshire
 - Missouri (coming soon on Sept 20th)

So thats the quick update - for anyone who is curious, we are NOT planning another for a little while - despite being a delightful little thing, we are still so tired and definitly have our hands full!!
