I'm about a week behind on Blair's 4 month post. Things have been busy at the Verdigets' household! We had her check-up last Monday with Dr. Pip and he was so pleased with how she is growing. She weighs 15 lbs 2 oz and is 24.5 inches long. She obviously had a growth spurt since her last check-up at 2 months ;) We had another round of those nasty shots, but she tolerated them like a champ! On the 4 month birthday, Blair's Daddy and I decided that there would be NO MORE swaddle blanket. Instead of easing her out of it, we decided to cut it cold turkey. It took about 3 days, but she seems to have the hang of it by now. The first night was NOT fun and we were up all night long (Daddy says it was just him, but I beg to differ). Here is a picture of her in her new big girl pajamas without the swaddle!
Dr. Pip also gave us the go ahead to try some rice cereal when Miss B was ready. She is downing four 8 oz bottles a day, so we figured we would give it a shot. She eats at 8:00, 12:00, 4:00, and 7:30, so we decided to try the 4:00 feeding. As you can see, she is not a huge fan. I'm hoping she'll get the hang of it! We are open to any suggestions on this topic. And YES, we tried giving to her for breakfast. She cut the biggest rusty you have every seen in your life!
As for the holiday, we drove to Childersburg to spend time with family. Of course it rained and rained and rained, BUT we did get a few opportunities to let Blair sport her sun hat!
We are so excited for this weekend, because ALL of Blair's aunts are coming to visit. They are wanting to take Mommy out for a fun night on the town. Let's just hope Blair doesn't decide to wake EVERYONE up the next morning at the crack of dawn! HA! Can't wait to see you gals!

I can NOT believe she is old enough to eat rice cereal and I haven't seen her since she was 1 day old. So excited about seeing you and that cute little munchkin, can't wait!!! Oh, and rest up, because we are definitely taking you for a night out on the town :)
She is so precious... and don't sweat the rice cereal none of mine liked it either... and I can't believe she's taking 8 oz bottles... I don't even think JM is getting that much!!!
Please take lots of pics when the "Aunties" come... I always love to see what you cats do! I always like to live vicariously through y'all! :)
And... your pictures look great!! Must be practicing!
She is so BEAUTIFUL! I love the updates! Eli didn't like rice cereal for the first month of so, but eventually when he got the hang of eating, he'll now eat it up. What a mess, huh? :)
Y'all have fun this weekend! Can't wait to see pictures!
Cannot wait to see you TOMORROW!!!
SO how is it going sans swaddle?? Pollard loves it but he sometimes reverts back to fussing in the night. Oh, xhaustion. I would like to say too that I'm pretty sure Blair and P are twins. The hair, the tiny arm muscles, the double-chin grin! And he also has that lady bug toy that she has in her bouncy seat, it's his FAVE!! Blair is to die for. Also, how is the rice cereal going?? I scrapped that with the spoon and stuck it in his bottle, he LOVES it. And we're on sweet potatoes and squash with the spoon, and he is a HUGE fan!
Can't wait to see all 3 of you tonight, woohoo!! Sorry I'm of no help with the cereal- K loved it from the first bite. Wonder where she gets that from?! haha!! Rest up mama, see you soon!
Love the face she is making at the cereal! Too funny.....let Felix figure out the cereal while you enjoy your weekend with the girls!
TARA!!! You totally just called me out on my blog! I am so ashamed!!! I hear you have some company coming to see you!! Y'all are going to have a blast!!!! Blair is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
