i am actually going to start my story by telling ya'll about yesterday... i had to go to this place called the doctor. my mom swears my doctor is a nice lady, but all i remember is those pokey things {shots}. Wowsers! it all began like any other day, i woke up, i was in my usual good mood, had some breakfast. next, i played in my exersaucer (picture of me in action to follow), mom got me dressed, then strapped me into my car seat and with a smile on her face said, "you ready to go bye-bye? my library books are ready to go pick up and you are almost out of formula." sounded like fun. i'm up for a car ride anytime, i just don't understand why the cars have to stop so much. i would quickly learn that she conveniently left out the trip to a little place called Healthcare for Children, or the most awful place on earth if you ask kids. thanks mom. i've got your number lady. i will remember this. you like sleep right... well, i'll be sure to get you back.
anyway- i took a catnap while mom drove around running errands, and the next thing i know, i'm naked, in a cold chair, with a paper napkin stuck to my bum {the scale}. when i saw that stranger, mom called her a nurse, i knew i was in for trouble. i tried to cry to keep her away, but it didn't work. she'd later get me good. the stranger put a ruler around my head and made me lay on a table as she stretched my leg off. it was pure torture, you guys. then she left. did the tears work? no time to celebrate, another stranger came in. she had a warm smile and a nice voice, but i cried anyway. i thought i would get some relief because the doctor kept saying nice things as she stuck a flat wooden object in my mouth and a funnel thingy in my ear. how could she expect me to like that? she even said i have a perfectly shaped head. maybe my daddy will let me be a head model? just kidding, there's no such thing. is there? well, my dad says i will play soccer. play...okay, i like that. soccer, sure, if it's play, i'm in. now my results from the doctor (in case you forgot what i was at 2 month, click here):
4 months:
-height- 23 3/4 inches {up almost 2 inches. call me Yao Ming}
-weight- 13 lbs {up a little over 2 1/2 lbs}
-head circumference- 16 inches {the brain has grown almost 2 inches too. move over Stephen Hawking}
i have no idea what these things mean or what the 25-50th percentile means, but that's where i am. all i know is that i'm not a fan of the doctor. what kind of lady can sleep at night after she pokes a baby like me?
now TODAY! i had a great day. i napped, played with my toys, napped, got in my swing, napped, played some more, had a few diaper changes, and napped. i ate too. i can eat 4 oz at one time. sometimes 5. i'm getting big. i walked around the house with my personal assistant {mom} and took pics of some of my favorite things. here's what i'm into these days:
