Madeline at Four Months

Today was the big four month check up. We passed. Actually, she's exactly the size her big sister was at that point...90% for length, 50% for weight. Does anyone know what kind of indicator these are for future measurements? Hmmm...that would have probably been a good question for the pediatrician.

Madeline's tricks at four months are not numerous, but they keep her entertained most of the time. The turning over is still pretty constant, but she's gotten a little less obsessive about it, so now she usually stops doing it before it makes her cry. She started laughing this week. Of course we often ruin the moment by freaking out that she's laughing and startling her. She'll get used to that. Madeline has started school--three days a week for a few hours with Ms. Madie, who also kept Meredith. That's going well, though naps are certainly shorter than when she's home. But she'll get her routine down soon, and in the meantime, it doesn't seem to upset her.

Though I always miss the girls, I'm loving being back at work. Being able to think in increments of greater than 10 minutes is a blessing. Plus I work at an amazing place. God is good. And lest we leave Meredith out of her namesake blog, here's another edition of "You Might be a Little Sister If..." sister tucks you in for a nap (under a pillowcase, 'cause it's "just the right size") and then slides herself in there between you and froggie, who's also taking a nap. And all of you have to fit on the activity mat.
