4 months old today!

I am 4 months old today! Wow... Momma and Daddy can't believe I am so big already! Time is flying and I am developing new abilities every day. Today, I woke up shrieking - with joy, that is. I have discovered that I can make LOUD sounds with my vocal cords. Momma thinks it's pretty cute and sometimes even downright hysterical, but she can imagine that she might change her tune if I decide to use my new voice out in public a lot. :)

 I also tried using the Bumbo for the first time. It was kinda cool to play with my toy and be able to be sitting up. I was doing a great job grasping the toy and I was surprised when I knocked it to the floor off the tray. :)

Later on in the morning, we went to Mommy's doctor's for a blood draw in the morning and I was again a little charmer, but I also had a small love affair with the ceiling fan - it was mesmerizing... just like when I loved it at "Auntie" Michal's house a while back. Then, we were off to get Mommy some lunch. I napped in the Ergo while she enjoyed some tacos. Then, we stopped at a consignment store in Wallingford where Momma scored me a baby Northface jacket for $6! I can't wait to wear it when we go camping. I'll be a styling baby for sure. :)


Daddy came home early and we went to my pediatrician's office. I was a smiley baby during my exam (a big change from past appointments where I cried when I had to be stripped down!), and Dr. Tom said I am growing well! Here are my official measurements:

Weight: 15lbs 5oz.  That's 74%. No wonder Momma's arms hurt!
Height: 26.25 in. That's 94%. I'm tall! 
Head circumference: 42cm. That's 50%. 



I had to get some shots but I handled them like a champ. I got to nurse while being poked and we think that helped me feel less pain. I cried at first but then went back to my meal and didn't really fuss all night. Mommy only got close to tears when I cried, but it was so brief she was able to hold herself together. :)

Since I was doing well, Mommy and Daddy brought me to the Madrona Alehouse to hang out with some of my PEPS babyfriends. I had fun watching everybody and then took a snooze on Daddy's chest in the Ergo. We stopped for ice cream and then came home to put me to bed.  It was a full day!
