4 month check up today... You are not our average sized baby any longer. You grew 2 inches in a month and are now 25 inches long!! That's almost the 80th percentile! You weigh 14 pounds 1.5 ounces and are between the 70th and 75th percentile for weight! You got your first two shots today, and they weren't as bad as Mama thought they'd be... Good thing because there are a lot more to come!! Mama also plans to start an elimination diet. You seem to have an allergy or food intolerance, and it just keeps getting worse... Rash, eczema, mucus, irritability. It'll be lots of work, but worth it when we get it all figured out! (not surprised you have a food intolerance or allergies... You got that from your daddy!)

As I was taking you for a walk in the park this morning, I thought about how lucky you are to call this place home! I hope you love it just as much!!

Holy moly you are growing up!!! Rolling over, talking, letting us know when you Don't need to potty, playing with toys! The list goes on!!

Today was grocery shopping day (& you didn't have a blowout at the store! Wahoo!) You are getting used to being worn while we shop, which is awesome! It's going to make Mama's life so much easier if you 'enjoy' (tolerate) it!

You've been a little crank monster lately!!! I think it's a combination of a few things: 1) maybe it is just a cranky time (developmentally), 2) you seem to be teething - chewing and slobbering like crazy, and 3) we think you have some food allergies that we haven't quite pinpointed... :(

This weekend has been all about the Daddy. He's been baby whisperer in getting you to sleep when it was nap time!!! He's so proud of himself. We will miss him on Monday when he goes back to work and Mama is the only one trying to get baby to fall asleep at nap time!

You saw two of the midwives that helped deliver you today. We hadn't seen them since December, so you've definitely changed! Angela, the midwife that caught you as you were born, had an open house for the beautiful midwifery clinic she is starting out of her backyard cottage.

Before we went to see Angela, you took a nap. While you were napping, Daddy decided to get Mom up to speed on one of the best movies from his childhood... (One that your mother should have seen already!)... Wayne's World! It was quite awesome. You decided you wanted a little Wayne's World too. You woke up from your nap early while we were finishing the end of the movie. We are trying to keep you from seeing the TV too much, but it didn't matter how Daddy turned you, you were going to watch that movie! Maybe someday you'll think it's as funny as your parents do.

Oh Sweet Pea! You are a little fuss bucket today! I am not sure why, but I feel so bad for you.

We did hear your laughter though. You were laying on the bed after Daddy came home. I noticed that you look like you almost have dimples and in a silly voice I was telling you about how they are hidden in your puffy cheeks as I shook the bed. This made you giggle! Daddy even caught it on film! So cute.

This is you happy as can be upstairs visiting P and Z and your Aunt Jac. This is moments before you were bonked accidentally by a flying plastic giraffe... And after that you weren't so happy, not in the least! Poor baby girl!!! Mama has never seen you cry so hard. You'll definitely have more than your share of bumps and bruises down the road. Mama isn't looking forward to any of that. Your daddy isn't either!!
