It's true. I find myself saying that old adage quite frequently lately, especially in respects to my daughter, who is now four month old. Seriously, where did time go? Really? Really. She's four months old. Really. She can roll over. Really?!?! It's like I have a little Seth and Amy sitting on my shoulders saying "Really?!?!" every time I think of how old she is. I just can't believe that time has gone by that fast. Here we are in June. Really?!?
All "really's" aside, I did have her four month checkup today which went pretty well. She didn't like to lay on the crunchy white paper that they make you sit on when you are at the doctor's office, and I don't blame her. She's doing perfectly well and the doctor seemed pretty impressed that she can roll over both ways (that's my girl!). I thought up to this point she was pretty tiny, but it turns out she's just average. At three months she weighed 13.5 pounds. Today we got so more specific measurements:
Height: 24 3/4 in (67% percentile)
Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz. (71% percentile)
Head Circumference: 42 8/10 cm (90% percentile)
Apparently, Dave and I make big headed babies. That just means they are gonna be smart, right? Right?!?!
And for comparisons sake, James at this time weighed 16.7 lbs and was 25.5 inches long. So he's got his sister beat in both categories. But I want my boys to be bigger, so it works out. (Sidenote: his head was also measuring in the 98% percentile, so he had quite the noggin).
So she's doing great! And I couldn't have asked for a better baby girl. I love her so!

I still can't believe they didn't comment on how precious she is. Shouldn't there be some percentile measurement thingie for that? She's surely off the charts. James, too, with his funny sayings.
You probably thought she was small because of all the humongous babies hanging around our church.
