Paloma Speaks Again and is Getting Louder!

Four Months Old

Paloma is 4 months old! Her 4 month stats are:

12lbs, 10 ozs - 29th percentile

24 inches long - 50th percentile

Her pediatrician said she is just perfect, and has hit all of the milestones she should have at this age. She blows raspberries, coos, rolls over from front to back, tracks fairly small objects with her eyes, responds to my voice, clasps her hands and holds objects, etc. I think she is a little more easy going than Milan was at this age. My only complaint is she is such a wonderful child, it makes it really difficult not to want a 3rd!

Paloma Talking

A week ago Monday, Paloma "found her voice". It began as a gentle cooing, but very quickly turned into this...

My Favorite Faces

I take a lot of pictures of my kids, and along with that comes a wide range of facial expressions I've come to recognize, expect, and simply adore. Here are a few of my favorites...

Milan's pre-meltdown face

The "I'm fully engaged in my meltdown" face.

Milan's post-meltdown face...makes me want to smother her in kisses.

Paloma's "Mommy come kiss my cheeks" face

Paloma's "Angelina Jolie's lips" face - one my my absolute favorites!

The beginning of her Angelina face, soon her lips will pop out.

The "I'm putting up with you Mommy because I love you" face.

The " you better hurry up because I'm done with this photo session" face.

Grandma's Visit

Last week we enjoyed another visit from Grandma. Milan and Paloma soaked in 7 days of good old-fashioned Grandma spoiling. Unfortunately, the visit only lasted a week and we were all very sad to see her go.
