This photo is pretty indicative of Makena's personality.  She is a serious baby, taking everything in and very observant.  She does smile, and it is a gift, but I definitely wouldn't call her a smiley-happy baby.  Every morning when I go into her room to get her she give me crazy smiles and kicks like crazy.  She is not fussy, just content.  I think she is an old soul, something I have been known to be called.

We had her 4 month check up today, and she did so well.  She cried through the whole exam when Dr. Lance checked her out, but hardly a peep when she got her 4 (!!) shots.  Nanea and I were very proud of her :).  Makena is in the 75th percentile for weight (14 lbs, 10 oz) and height (25 inches), and 25th percentile for head circumference.  Once again, almost identical to Nanea's stats at the same age.  Makena weighs slightly more, but Nanea's head was slightly bigger.  Exact same height.  Looks like I'll have 2 tall girls.  Taller than me at least.

We just tried the bebe pod this week.  Makena likes it a lot.  Nanea helps and pushes her back to an upright position when she eventually leans over to one side or another.  Makena loves to see everything and is very alert and aware of her surroundings.  She HATES the pack -n- play, but loves hanging out on the floor since she can look around and check things out.  She continues to be a really good baby and oh so sweet.  Don't you just want to eat those cheeks :)?

It matters.  Do it!

But please don't take my picture...

I apologize for the junk-y phone picture, but that was my only option.  If you look close, you can see her cute Halloween shirt.
