Ryleigh is Four Months!!!!

Ryleigh at 4 months (February 15, 2011)

Technically, she was four months yesterday...but we didn't go to the Doctor until today, so I figured I would wait so that we could have all the stats.  Not so little Ryleigh now weighs 16 pounds and is 27 inches long!!  She is in the 95th percentile for weight and is off the charts for height.  The doctor says she is very healthy and looking good : )  So now on to the pictures....

Month four has been nice and relaxing after a very busy month three.  It has also been a VERY vocal month.  Ryleigh is starting to voice her opinion a lot more lately and it is adorable...loud...but adorable.  She has also discovered her feet and loves to put her toes in her mouth.  We haven't really hit any more milestones this month, but that's ok, we're growing and absorbing everything we see.

This month Ryleigh started physical therapy with Miss Flavia for her neck.  Ryleigh has a mild case of Torticollis, which is a tightness in her left sternocleidomastoid muscle (the muscle that stretches from behind the ear to the clavicle bone).  So to loosen the muscle and to help get her neck rotation and head alignment corrected, we go see Miss Flavia every other week for a work out.  Between visits Mommy and Daddy do stretches at home to help move the process along as well.  Miss Flavia says Ryleigh is looking really good and moving along great!  She should hopefully only need a few more sessions.  Miss Flavia also says that Ryleigh is the longest baby she has ever worked with...so maybe we have a future supermodel on our hands : )





Also this month, after spending a week with just Mommy while Daddy was in Allentown, PA for work, Gammy and Grandad came to visit for a long weekend.  Ryleigh hasn't seen them since Christmastime, so it was nice to be able to spend some time with them.  They were very excited to see her and couldn't believe how much she has grown in such a short time.

Well that is pretty much all the exciting things from this past month.  Now enjoy some of our favorite pictures and videos from this month.
