Margaret's 4 Month Checkup

Margaret had her 4 month checkup this weekend.

She is:
12 pounds, 13 ounces (50th percentile)
24.5 inches long (50th percentile)

And her head is 16 inches around (50th percentile).

Mark said that makes her an average baby.
I say that makes her an IDEAL baby!

Happy Birthday NannyJo!

The Many Moods of Margaret

Here is Margaret at 3.5 months old. Sitting on the lion toy. Balancing by her own. I guess she didn't read the book that says she isn't old enough to do that yet!

I wonder what is going through her mind...

Here Margaret is wearing another one of Max's outfits. Giraffes are good for a girl or a boy...

Luau Baby!

Happy Mother's Day

Margaret poses with Mommy on Mother's Day!

Margaret and Max in their Mutual Admiration Society

Margaret doing her Tummy Time. Blanket from the Miskes! Thanks! And I am delighted to report that Margaret has started to roll over! She can go from tummy to back so far. We are really trying to increase her Tummy Time to help her make more progress. Putting her on the big ottoman with a blanket under her seems to work out well. She can lift up her head and see us if we sit on the floor or she can see Max if he runs up to her (as he often does).

Happy Margaret in her Bumbo and a silly hat!

Margaret's Young Admirers

Dylan was very excited about Margaret. And she really seemed to take to him. Dylan helped me with the stroller all day long at the Sheep and Wool Festival. He was eager for his chance to hold Margaret.
This picture was taken right before we left the Festival. Margaret was giving Dylan a big big smile. She really likes him. And he really likes her. Another mutual admiration society!

Back at home Margaret doesn't seem so sure that having her picture taken with Max is a good idea... Maybe she is just intimidated by his giant head...
