Mary is about 4 1/2 months old now and is starting to grow out of many of her 6 month clothes and into her 9 month clothes. I even got a white 18 month onesie out of Josh's drawer a couple of weeks ago because she had grown out of her undershirts and it totally fit her! Granted, there's no way it would have actually fit Josh (and he still wears lots of 18 month and even some 12 month clothes), but still. She still has the cutest chubby cheeks that I just want to kiss all day long, and they go perfectly with the rolls on her legs, arms and belly. (Too bad my rolls aren't considered cute!) She has pretty blue eyes that I think are going to stay blue.
I'm curious to see how much Mary weighs now. At around 3 1/2 months I took her to the doctor because she had kind of a croupy cough (it got better quickly) and she was 16# 6 oz. then. Her "4 month" appointment will be this week, since I could get Josh's 2 year apointment at the same time. I was getting out their immunization records last night so I wouldn't forget to take them with me to the appointment and mentioned to David how both Josh and Mary will be getting a few shots each. David asked me if it was such a good idea to have both of their appointments at the same time if they were both going to be getting shots, and now I'm starting to question it myself! Hopefully they'll both do okay, but if not, at least I get it over with, right?
She rolled over for the first time while we were in Snowflake for the 24th Celebration, but David and I both missed it since we were at my HS reunion. Oh well. She is quite interested in toys these days, she will now reach for them and bring them to her mouth. Her favorite things to play with, however, are her feet. She giggles quite readily now and it's so fun...I really like this stage!
Mary can sleep through the night and does it about 25% of the time, maybe. The other nights she usually just wakes up once. We finally moved her out of our room into Josh's room and they've done just fine with each other, thank goodness.
We started feeding her rice cereal at 4 months and she's doing great with it, and she'll also take a bottle pretty well. It helps that she gets one almost every Wed. night while I'm at mutual.
Mary has a sweet personality and is pretty mellow (at least in comparison to Josh, but that's not too hard) most of the time. Either that, or I am just more immune to crying now than I was with Josh--probably a little of both. She definitely lets you know when she is mad, though...she can escalate from nothing to a cry pretty fast! She puts up with Josh's "loves" quite well, and has come through so far (knock on wood) with only temporary bite marks from him. I guess she'll be tough, right? Check out these teeth marks on her elbow in the first pic and her right cheek in the second.
Here are a few more cute pictures of my sweet baby girl:

She is SO cute and SO chunky! I love her chubby cheeks and legs.
She is a doll face! I love the one where she's in yellow reaching for her toes! And, AWESOME job on Josh's cake!!!! It's perfect! You did amazing!
I think it is best to just get the immunizations done at once and be done. I take all three of my kids at the same time now. At least one of them gets shots but it is worth it to get it all done at once. She looks like you to me. She's a cutie!
She is so cute! I think she resembles your Mom, atleast in that last picture. Any baby that can deal well with her 2 year old brothers "lovings" is one tough cookie!
She's the cutest little thing. I can't believe how big she is already. I love the cheeks!
Love all those cute pics!! I can't believe Josh is 2! Great job on the cake!!
she needs her diaper off so I can see that lovely puffy bald little c--t, I love my granddaus coming to visit 5 mth old twins, adorable little tiny c--ts taste so good and soft, warm little mouths that suck better than any adult could
