16 Weeks

I have a 16 week old - that's almost 4 months! Wow! The last 16 weeks of my life have been the most rewarding and fulfilling weeks of my life!

Molly Grace, you are growing so fast!

You now weigh 13 lbs, 8 oz! You are a chunky little monkey!

You are eating 6 oz every 3 hours. You sleep 9 hours at night, eat a little snack and sleep 4 more.

You've started having allergies! I feel so bad for you. You're always sneezing or coughing and your poor little nose is always stuffy. I keep Little Noses Saline Spray handy, but you hate it! You used to let me squirt it up your nose and never flinch. Now you fight me!

You have such a little personality now! You may look like your Daddy, but you act just like your Mommy! You are sassy as can be. You have this dramatic little cry when you want something. It's so funny! You can turn those tears on and off so quickly. And you definitely know how to throw a fit!




You talk up a storm now. You make the funniest faces when you're talking. It's so cute! I love to hear your voice.

You love attention. You will smile, laugh and talk whenver anyone pays attention to you. Yesterday we went shopping and 6 people stopped to look at you and tell me how beautiful you were! You were smiling and being such a little ham!

You're getting really good at entertaining yourself. You will stand in your jumper or sit in your bouncy chair for a few minutes at a time now.

You love reading books, especially books that make noises. Your favorite right now is a farm book that makes barnyard noises. We read it everyday!

You still will not roll over anymore! You did it about 5 times and refuse to do it now. I think you know if you lay your head down and cry pitifully we will turn you over! ha! You definitely know how to work us!

When you are on your belly now, you will pull yourself along. It's so funny to watch! You're really good at turning in circles. When we put you to bed at night your head is at the end, when you wake up in the morning you're laying sideways!

You love your paci, but you love to suck on your fist, too. Sometimes when you're in bed, we can hear you smacking on your fist from the living room! It makes your daddy and I laugh!



You make us smile and laugh a lot sweet Molly Grace! You are the most beautiful miracle God ever created!
