Marjorie at 4 Months

Marjorie at 4 Months:
- at her 4 month appointment she was 24.5 inches long (50%) and 12.3 oz. (10%) tall and skinny!
-just started giggling and it is awesome!
-rolls to her side and allllmost all the way onto her tummy, but still no dice
-absolutely hates tummy time, but performed well for the doctor. She pushed herself way up and hung out there on display for a good few minutes for the doctor, something she rarely does for me.
-getting better and better at grabbing things and pulling them to her mouth. Sometimes she gets fussy when she's playing in her play gym and I think it's because she can't get something into her mouth that she really wants to explore
-frequently grasps her hands together like a little choir girl
-great at nighttime sleeping and short of naps. She's better at going down for naps, but only stays down for 30-45 minutes regularly. Occasionally I'll get an hour and it's always a pleasant surprise!
-still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but occasionally I put her in a smallish 3-6 month outfit. All of her 3-6 month clothes are summery and I'm afraid she'll just start to fit them when it gets chilly out
-the doctor placed her on Zantac at her 4 month appointment. She's only been on it for 24 hours so I don't know if this will be the answer to her apparent pain after eating and general fussiness. I am very much hoping it will be
-just discovered how to blow raspberries and thoroughly enjoys doing that, especially at 5:30 in the morning

Mom at 4 Months:
-Thoroughly enjoyed being at home for 6 weeks and hanging in NC for 10 days with the Parrish Fam
-Super enjoyed always having someone around to help fetch things or hold a fussy baby. How am I going to survive on my own?!
-Nursing is going well mostly. It's been a while since her last freak out and refusal to eat. Again, really hoping that the Zantac will help!

Marjorie meets Marjorie

Today, Marjorie met Marjorie. Our M should have been fussy and grumpy as it was definitely nap time, but she was all smiles while meeting her namesake. I'm pretty sure they're kindred spirits, same names or no. I've never seen her so smiley and happy to meet someone new. 
Favorite picture ever!
I know Marjorie will treasure these pictures as she grows.
