Really, you're almost 5 months old now - just another 6 days. It's hard to believe that your first Thanksgiving is coming up next week, and you'll be 6 months old on your first Christmas! Fortunately, there's no real need to get you much this year; even next year you'll just be getting the hang of presents. :o)
You have been growing up fast... literally. Your 4-month checkup and shots were yesterday, and you're in the 99th percentile for height (I guess they call it "length" since you can't stand up yet). I knew you were going to be a big kid, but good grief! And the shots went much easier this time around. You cried like crazy for a couple of minutes, but we got you distracted quickly, kept you moving in your bouncing jumper thingy, and massaged your legs several times, and you were fine the rest of the day.
You're getting better at rolling over, which is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Next thing you know you'll be crawling and pulling yourself up... then we'll actually have to start baby-proofing the house. Damn. But you're laughing and giggling more every day, which is so gratifying. Your smile when you wake up is so validating - it makes everything so worthwhile. I really love you, little girl, and I can't wait to see what comes next...
Om nom nom... yummy baby
