Four months old

Today, sweet Abigail went in for her four-month appointment. That means shots! Abigail did great and cried for maybe 10 seconds. She is some kinda champ. ;)

They also took all her measurements, and I thought you might be interested (read: grandmas info ahead!)

Length: 25 inch. (90th percentile)
Height: 16 lb. 12 oz. (95th percentile)
Head circumference: 42 cm

She is proportional though definitely ahead of the curve. (P.S. I thought I should make a note about the percentile business. It simply means that 10% of babies her same age are longer than she is and 5% of babies weigh more.) Interestingly, our beloved Dr. Matthews says she is about the size of a 6 to 7 month-old baby. No wonder those 3-6 month jammies are a bit tight.

That's our little girl! Too sweet to even cry long after her shots. I'm not at all surprised she was ahead of the curve on her growth. She's going to try to keep up with her big sister. It's too bad they can't measure her sweetness and spice--they'd see she's ahead of the curve on that, too!

What a joy it was to have you as our guests this past weekend. Your children are delightful. Be sure to tell "Moses" Nana and Papa miss her sweet reminders, that she wants to be called Moses. I love Abigail's sweet smile, her whole body lights up when she is spoken to. You're doing a great job parenting!!
