Sydney's Dr's Appt

Sydney had her 4-month dr's appt today (about 2 weeks late, my fault -- things have been quite busy lately).

All is well:

Weight = 14 lbs 5 oz (50th percentile)
Height = 25 1/4 in (75th percentile)
Head circumference = 17 1/4 (90th percentile -- she's got daddy's head!)

Sydney is either on track or ahead of hte curve on all developmental milestones...tracking 180 degrees (apparently doc was quite impressed wtih that), putting her hands together, rolling over, starting to crawl, smiling, laughing, cooing, batting, grabbing, picking up things and putting them in her mouth, pushing up with her head and chest off hte floor, etc. Ah yes, good times.

The only thing that sucks is the teething. She's not too fussy, it's just that she wants to be around us all the time. Usually held or lying on one of us. She's quite hte little socialite.

Yesterday, I got so desperate, I put whisky on her gums. It didn't seem to help her teething pain, but she did smel like she'd been to a kiddie saloon, which was mildly amusing. So much for that bit of wisdom. I think we'll all be happier when she cuts that first tooth (plus that means I can stop breastfeeding, haha)

A little alcohol did make Andy and I feel better, however....
