Four months

Annie turned 4 months old on February 29th. . . . Or would have if that day existed this year. The next day, Feb. 30th (March 2) she rolled over. And a week later she could scoot forward to get a toy. Granted it takes her 10 minutes to move a 12 inches, but it is forward movement. And it scares me a little. I don't need a mobile 4 month old. I'm more than happy to wait until she's 1 or even 2 years old before she starts moving around and getting into everything.
Anyway, Annie had her 4 month check up last Thursday and all went well, though she wasn't particularly fond of the shots. She weighs in at 14 lbs 8 oz (62%) and 25.5 inches (84%). That is exactly the same as Rachel was at her 4 month check up.

Annie has tried some rice cereal a few times...
and LOVES it. She can't get enough.
When I get the spoon anywhere near range she grabs my fingers or spoon or whatever she can hold to pull the food into her mouth.

Annie continues to be a happy, laughing girl:

She also loves anything with a screen.

"Whatchoo want? I'm emailing Grandma."

Rachel is getting to be a bit happier and more cooperative lately. She loves her little stuffed animal friends.
We've started a movie night tradition on Fridays and Rachel looks forward to it all week. Last week we made it into a special camp-in movie night complete with tent and sleeping on the floor of the living room.
Such fun.
