4 months old!

Whee! Ria is 4 months old!

4 months is when they start to get more fun ... unfortunately Ria's only 3 months adjusted age (from her due date), so she's not quite there yet, but she's calmed down a lot, is starting to giggle when we tickle her neck or underarms, and is getting very interested in things outside of arms range (so she must be starting to focus her eyes and get some more distance vision). I'm looking forward to the changes the next 1 or 2 months will bring!

Iain has been building crazy block towers lately (spurred on by some hand-me-down blocks that showed up from his Stenberg cousins) and been building lots of fun train track setups with Daddy (which Ducky has been messing up daily, so that they have to be rebuilt constantly).

At her 4 month visit, Ria was 14#11 oz (6662 g), 24.5" long (62 cm), and head circumference 41.3 cm. That's over 75%tile in weight, ~65-70%tile in height, and ~65% in head size. If we adjust for her prematurity in that, she's an amusing 95%tile in weight. Strange, with such a munchkin mom, but there you are! No wonder she came early!

What's up

Various thoughts:

Finally, Ria's been un-sick for a full week. Its nice to not need the humidifier every night and a tilted bassinet. She seems quite pleased too ;-).

Today we're going on a snail hunt at the Cuesta Park Annex....I'm hoping we'll find some. What a beautiful day! We're not scared! http://www.amazon.com/Were-Going-Classic-Board-Books/dp/0689815816

Ria's 4 months old next week (photos will be up promptly, i promise!). she's almost 12 weeks adjusted age, 1 week from 3 months. I can tell. She's mellowing a lot, and generally being lower maintenance....a true sign of hitting that 3 month mark.

that's all. (actually, there was something else, but i just can't recall it. maybe next time!)
