May-o Ma-a-a-yo

Lets get everyone caught up... here's a sample of what the little Curley Q did back in late May...

Some arts & crafts...

'

A little sittin'up...

'

A lot of smiling....

(what's up with the sideways picture?)

'

Visited Daddy at work on a SATURDAY...

(Dad works too hard!)

'

Peed on Daddy's desk and then went to dinner at the Angry Dog...

"You have a baby! ... in a bar!"

'
Went on a picnic at the splash park...

'

And did a little rollin from side to side...

'

Boy was she tired, not just from all those fun activities, but from lugging those cheeks around everywhere!

Look at her grow... 4 month check-up

This little girl had her 4 month check up last week! And really, she's 4 1/2 months old now! I'm SO behind.

On the way to see Doc D...She had to wake up from a good nap to go... sleepy head. So much waiting!

So many stops to make and measurements to take...

Weight: 13 lbs, 12 ozs

Length: 24 inches

Head: very proportionate...

how unusual, considering

all those big-noggin-genes

she was likely to inherit

Here she is worrying whether or not she would pass her Denver Developmental test... (she's just like her daddy sometimes)

She passed! Now let the good times roll!

Leah loves Doc D.

She loves most things.

She LOVES to laugh. (hey... me too!)

She LOVES a good nap. (me too!)

She LOVES Saturday mornings with her daddy! (me too!)

She LOVES anyone who smiles. (me too...)

She LOVES her feet. (me too... well, I'm a little proud since someone stopped me in the mall one time MANY years ago and asked me if I was a foot model)

She LOVES waking up in the morning! (ummm... not so much anymore. I'm tired in the mornings!)

'

She may wring her hands and look worried like her daddy sometimes does... but I'd say we have alot in common too. (despite that last one)

Including NOT enjoying the immunization process... next it was time for shots...

Whatchu-talkin-bout-willis?

I HATE IT when they give her shots! I was SURE this part of motherhood would not bother me! But each one is worse than the last... for me. But its better than getting rotavirus, whooping cough, diphtheria or the measles!

Oh yeah, and she definitely meets and exceeds her developmental milestones this time around... her favs are:

"enjoys mirror image" (just a little)

"basks in attention" (only a small amount of basking)

she also "uses legs in kicking motion" quite vigorously

(Of course she is behind the curve on the neck chart, but she makes up for it in cheeks and chins!)

My future is so bright

'

I need shades!!

Or maybe just a great sun hat!!

(funny how she looks less like a fisherman now that the hat fits... but still a tad fishy... weird!)

I should add that when I was a freshman in college, the ladies at our church sent out care packages full of goodies and one of my "goodies" was a tiny pair of plastic sunglasses that said "Your future is so bright, you need to wear shades!" I think I still have them somewhere. So now that's what I tell my little Curley Q when I put her sunglasses on. A little cheese is good for the soul.
