4 months old!

 Shannon had her 4 month appointment yesterday. Here are her stats:

Weight: 14 lb. 14 oz. (74%)
Height: 2' 2.75" (99% (off the chart!))
Head: 16.25" (56%)

And here are some recent Shannon pictures:

The tag blanket never gets old; she loves playing with it, and her older siblings love putting it on her like a wig!

 Tummy time is not her favorite, but she indulges us for about 10 minutes or so at a time...

 She will play with any toy that her older sisters give her. I love this face below, "Whatcha lookin at mom? I'm just playing with my baby minding my own business."

She loves Whitney almost as much as Whitney loves her. This picture was taken up on the top part of our temple in January.

She enjoys rolling around--can easily go from her tummy to back. Going from her back to her tummy takes extra effort though.

 She usually grabs the blanket and rolls back like this...

And after lots of rolling around, she turns into a pirate...

 We love our baby Shannon!

Shannon is such a beautiful baby. Love the face when she is holding the baby. How is it that my 10 month old doesn't weigh much more than your 4 month old?

Loooooove this update! I love all those pics of baby Shannon! I can't believe what a simply gorgeous little face she has. She totally has her own little Nelson look and I love it. Wish I could give her a huge squeeze.

I love her! Phil and I are dying to meet her. I love all the cute pictures, the one with her holding a doll is too cute.

What a cutie! Seriously such a beautiful baby Nats! Congrats on the move to So Cal - I'm pretty sure Evan would give his left arm to move there. I'll be jealous of all of your perfect weather (though you're probably already getting a lot of it). Oh and a happy belated birthday too!

Annie Scissorhands! Love it and was laughing too hard. What gorgeous kids you guys have. Man I miss them. Love Shannon's little flower headbands. She's just beautiful Nats.
