4 Months Old

Ginny had her four month checkup today, and the doctor gave her a big thumbs up! She is in the 75-90th percentile for height (25.25 inches) and 50th percentile for weight (14 pounds, 4 ounces) and head circumference. She was very brave through her shots and calmed down relatively quickly after it. She took a nap to cope with all the trauma. They even gave her sparkly silver band-aids, so I'm telling everyone that I bought her at Nordstrom's today! LOL!

Oh, and the doctor said he could see the top teeth start to come in. That would explain all of the drool...

Ginny is still working on crawling and sitting up on her own. She loves to sit in her activity center that Lola and Lolo bought her and the doorway jumper that Auntie Em bought her. Speaking of which, Ginny also has a house guest this week-her Auntie Emie! She's here for a whole week to play with Ginny, Mulan and Mickey!

We'll try to post some pictures next weekend.

Ginny is sick :(

Ginny came down with her first cold this week. I think I may have jinxed her because I was just talking with her Auntie Jessica on Sunday about how she hadn't been sick yet. Low and behold, she came down with the cold Sunday night. I don't even know where it came from-no one at daycare is sick, Darwin and I have not been sick, and no one we have seen recently was noticeably sick. Fortunately, she hasn't had a fever. She is congested, coughing and has a runny nose, which has made sleeping at night a little more problematic (although day care tells me she is fine during the day-normal except for the congestion). Anyway, hopefully she is getting over it and will be back to her perky self!

BTW-I think she is technically creeping/crawling. During tummy time, she can wiggle her way forward to the other side of the blanket (but it takes a while, it is not a noticeable movement).
