While little Naiya isn’t as big as her brother was at this age, she’s still growing at a good pace!  At her 4 month checkup she weighed in at 14lbs 3oz.  She’s holding steady around the 50th percentile for height and weight. 

I’m always amazed by the changes we see in Naiya development.  She’s now rolling all over the place.  She’s also able to sit for short periods of time.  Toys are starting to peak her interest a little more now. 

Eli is still doing really well with his sister.  We are so proud of him!  He gives her lots of attention and love.  We’re hoping his affection and patience with her continues

After much effort, little Naiya was able to roll over for the first time a few days ago.  Here’s a picture of her right after she did it.  Dan, Eli, and I were all there to witness it!  We were so exicted, but as you can see from the picture Naiya had a “what’s the big deal” look on her face

Naiya Rolls Over

I was able to find pictures of Eli and Naiya both at 4 months old in similar poses.

This was our first holiday season with Naiya…and while she slept through much of it, she was definitely a wonderful addition!  It  feels like we’ve got a perfect little family now. 

I have to say, having a 2 1/2 year old makes Christmas so much fun!  Eli really got into Christmas this year.  He wrote a letter to Santa and asked for a “black motorcycle”.   He also helped Naiya write her letter and said that she wanted a “purple present”. 

One of my favorite moments of the season was when he told Dan at dinner, “I bought a book for you Daddy…it’s a surprise! You want to see it?”  So adorable!
