They grow so fast!

Jorie's four-month check-up was yesterday. In four months, nine days, she's more than doubled her birth weight and is now a whopping 15 lbs 13 oz. That puts her in the 85th percentile for weight. At 26 inches (to the extent this measurement is accurate) she's in the 95th percentile for height. Her head diameter clocks in at 50th percentile, making ( Read more... )

Wowser...has it really been four months already?!

I hope she's feeling better today - apparently I was alright about my vaccinations but my big sister used to scream like anything from the second she got in the doctor's room even if she wasn't going to be having a vaccination. :s

I vacillate between "I can't believe how big my baby's gotten. She's already four months old" and "It's only been four months? When does she get her driver's license?"

I took a while to get around to replying, but after the horrible post-vaccination day, she felt much better and was back to her generally good-natured self. Christmas Eve and Christmas were a little over-stimulating -- good thing her dad was around to lull her to sleep in her sling (it never works that well for me) -- but she's pretty much recovered by now.

Oh I know! I feel like that every time I see my niece. She popped in briefly earlier (they're properly coming round tomorrow) and she's just so mature already it's terrifying and she's only 2.

I'm glad she's better now, her first Christmas must have been pretty exciting for you although it'll no doubt be better next year when she can actually unwrap things and be a bit more engaged with things!

I totally lost at Christmas this year. I only got Jorie a sweater and a couple of onesies, knowing that other people would be getting her stuff and having a fear of adding yet more baby clutter. Also, we celebrated Christmas at my mom's, and I forgot Jorie's stocking at home.

Next year I hope will be different. For one thing, she should be a little easier to take care of and take out, making shopping easier. Also, as you say, she'll be much more into the whole experience.

One of our nieces is two as well. Apparently she expected Santa to come and play with her on Christmas, but eventually resigned herself to the fact that he'd just be dropping off presents as he had so much to do.

Awww, but you have had a hectic time with looking after her so a little forgetfulness is to be expected. And at least she's too young to know about stockings properly and get upset at not having it on time!

That is *so* cute...I think Santa should come to play with people on Christmas day even if he is busy!
