4 Months and growing strong

Elizabeth had her 4 month appointment and she is doing great. Her stats are:
Weight - 14lbs 7oz 75% percentile
Height - 25.5 inches 95% percentile
Head - 41.3 75% percentile

She is 9 inches shorter than Victoria and 10lbs lighter. She is really tall and already wearing 9 month shirts for the length. She has been wearing them for about a month now.
She had to get 2 shots and she did great. When she got her first shot she did not cry and then she just whined for a minute with the second shot. She did well the rest of the day and was just a little crabby at night. She turns herself around in her exersaucer and brings all the toys to her mouth. On day I had her in her play pen sleeping in the corner and when I looked at her she had moved to the other corner and was playing with her toys (she was on her belly). She loves to sleep on her belly. She goes to bed at about 8pm and wakes up around 4am for a feeding. Then she is up at 5am and 6am for feedings and then wakes up at about 8am. She is eating rice cereal every night now and LOVES it. She grabs the spoon and shoves it in her mouth. She LOVES to suck her thumb. If she is not nursing she has her thumb in her mouth. She loves to be read to and tries to eat the book and Victoria will tell her don't eat the book sissy. She laughs so cute and I tried to get it on video for you to see. Just excuse the closeness that I get with the camera as it is hard to make her laugh and tape at the same time. Just today she reached for me while her Mamaw was holding her. She LOVES to talk and smile. All you have to do it look at her and she smiles her biggest smile and starts to talk to you.
