The Tallest Four-Month-Old on Earth

First off, congrats to Magnolia's Aunt Brooke (Jenica's sister) and her now-fiance Ryan on their engagement! They got engaged on Feb. 29th (leap year-style) and are planning on getting married this July in Mishawaka. We're really happy for you guys.....can't wait for the wedding!

We took Magnolia in for her 4-month check up this week and it was confirmed that she is, in fact, a big girl! She weighs 15 lbs. 4 oz. and is 26 3/4 inches long! So, she's in the 85th percentile for weight and off the charts for height! I was telling my friend Patrick that she is above the 100th percentile for height and he pointed out (accurately) that this doesn't even make sense logically. He said, "so that means that she is taller than the tallest four month old on Earth?" So, look out for her in the next edition of the Guiness Book of World Records. Here are some shots of her around the house:






We're going to have to work on that posture













"This chair isn't big enough for the both of us, Frog Rattle."






These next few shots are being referred to by some of Magnolia's fans as "the open mouth" shots. It's the latest pose that she's been trying out:

























































"Do you think this open mouth thing is working for me guys?"









In this last one, she just went with the timeless "precious" pose:

Thanks!!! Ryan is looking forward to becoming Magnolia's uncle! I especially enjoyed the comment about the frog rattle, haha.. And I think the open mouth pose is working for you Magnolia, for sure.
