Arianna hit her four-month mark this week. Wow, how time is flying! At her check-up with the pediatrician, she weighed in at 13 pounds, 6 ounces, and she is now a full two feet long. They grow so fast, sniff! She got some vaccinations, and she's doing great with them - she hasn't missed a beat.
Right at two months, she went from waking up every 2-3 hours in the night to waking up only once per night. We were so happy with that, because it was SO much better than before. But now she has started sleeping all through the night, about 7 to 9 hours at a time. It's been this way for about three weeks, and we are lovin' it! She is also showing a lot more personality now... she is smiling and cooing and sticking her tongue out at us. She is so funny in the car, too. That's where she talks the most - in her car seat, when she thinks no one is looking, she babbles and hums and coos. Ben and I can't help but smile at this.
She is doing great with bath time, too. She likes to kick her feet and splash in the water. It's just when she gets out in the cold air that she doesn't like so much. Here's a picture of her getting all warmed up in a luxurious hooded towel.
Okay, that's all for now. Thanks for reading our latest update. We'd love you hear from you, so leave a comment.

Don't you just love how they look in those little hooded towels? That must be so nice to have a full night's sleep. Our little guy will only do 4 hours at a time, at the most. Actually I think he once went 5. Hopefully it will get better soon! I like the new picture of you guys by the way...how did you make it look like that?
