Vera’s Four Months Old!

December 19, 2010 by Aliesha

Can you believe our sweet Vera is 1/3 of a year?  She’s our darling and we love her to pieces!

Some milestones:
– will lock her knees and “stand” on our laps when we’re holding her
– smiles and giggles at us!
– makes funny faces
– loves it when we sing Christmas carols to her!
– is teething
– slept a record 9.5 hours last night (not normal…haha…just the record)
– is experiencing her first cold
– sucks on her hands and plays with her fingers
– likes it when we toss her in the air
– likes our Christmas tree
– takes 2 or 3 naps a day
– goes to bed at 9pm
– weighs around 13.5 pounds

We adore our sweet girly!

P.S. There has been some confusion over the pronunciation of Vera’s name (since there are multiple ways of pronouncing both names).  Thought we’d set it straight: it’s VAIR-uh ee-VAN-juh-leen.

Filed Under: milestones, Vera
