She loves her bumbo seat!!
At Shelby Claire's 4 month check-up, she weighed 13 pounds 11 ounces and was 23 3/14" long. She was in the 40 percentile for weight and the 44th for height. She was in the 94th percentile for head circumference. Ha! Just like her sister!! She also got an oral vaccine and 4 shots in her chunky little thighs. It was terrible!! She was smiling and cooing at the nurse and then "WHAM" she stuck her four times! Shelby Claire looked at me with a look of pure betrayal on her face. I know the shots are necessary but err... I don't like them!
Adjusting to having two babies is getting easier as the days go by. Don't get me wrong, it is hard work but we are figuring out how to manage two and each day I figure something out to make it easier. Audrey is adjusting more and more and interacts with Shelby Claire frequently. I'm not sure if that is because she is getting used to her being here or if it is because Shelby Claire responds so positively to Audrey's attention. Either way, I am so thankful. Many random people (grocery store, target, etc.) will ooh and aah over Shelby Claire. Once they are done, they normally will turn to Audrey and ask if she likes being a big sister. She has finally stopped telling them, "no!".

Do share your tips and tricks for adjusting to the 2nd baby. I do agree with you that each day gets easier but I have yet to take them anywhere by myself except for drive thrus and the park :) Love her chunky thighs!!!!
One of the hardest things for me is how everyone makes a big fuss over Katherine when we are out in public and they tend to "forget" Gracie. People will say how beautiful Katherine is and then turn to Gracie and say "Oh, you are beautiful too". Definitely an afterthought! Of course, things (including kids) tend to be cuter in miniature, but still, I hate to see it and I just hope Gracie doesn't realize it. Both of your girls are beautiful!!
