She's Already Proving Us Wrong...

Saraya had her 4 month appt today, complete with 3 shots! She cried during the shots but otherwise was great. She is 10 lbs, 10 oz (10th percentile) and 24 inches in length (25th percentile).

The doctor was going through the routine development questions and she asked us if Saraya had rolled over yet. We told her not totally but that she had made it 3/4 of the way from her belly to her back but not all the way. Well, she must have heard us because she rolled over twice tonight! We

caught the second one on video, but I can't seem to get videos to post on the blog. Maybe someone has a tip?

Instead, here is a picture of Saraya "reading" in her Bumbo seat!

4 Months Tomorrow

Hard to believe, but Saraya will be 4 months old tomorrow. She's doing great. She's growing like crazy, especially in length. According to our measurements, she's in the 75th percentile for length despite being 5 weeks early. When I plotted her at length as 3 months old (her gestational age) she was at the 100th percentile. Maybe she'll be tall?

Here is a recent picture of her with her Aunt Laura. She's practicing for our upcoming trip to the beach!

A New Room!

Ahmad, Saraya and I just recently moved back home. We have a new house and we were finally able to make a nursery for Saraya. I had been planning this for months and I am so excited to see that the final product is even better than I imagined. Ahmad, as always, did a great job painting and putting everything together. We painted her room yellow and painted one wall with stripes of blue, green, yellow, red and orange. The safari animals are stickers that come in retro patterns. The elephant, for example, is red paisley and the lion is a yellow plaid pattern. I LOVE them. Check out the room. There is even a peak at Saraya in one of the pictures. Tomorrow I promise more pics of Saraya!

Here are the strips in progress....Ahmad did an amazing job. It certainly wasn't easy!
