Exciting Times

This week was big for us at the Brantz household, Samantha had her first week of preschool and Carina celebrated her four month birthday by sleeping through the night for the first time!

I am so proud of Samantha, she did amazing at her first day of school.  We have been regularly reading the book The Kissing Hand about a little raccoon who goes to school and before he goes, his mom kisses his hand so whenever he feels lonely he can hold his hand to his face and have her kiss close and know she loves him.  Samantha and I agreed that we would both give each other a kiss on the hand at school and then I would go and she would enjoy school and that is exactly what we did.  She had a great first day and will go back again tomorrow.

Little sweetheart on her first day of school!

Carina had her four month check up today and she of course is perfect in every way.  She gave her trademark smile to the doctor numerous times and even smiled at the nurse AFTER her shots, she is incredible.  She is healthy and growing, stats are:
Height: 24 inches - 50 percentile
Weight: 12 lbs 12.5 oz. - 49 percentile
Head Circ: 16.5 inches - 76 percentile

Four months old already!
