About Time For An Update....And Lots of Pictures Too!

Hello again. Being that Gabzilla (literally!!!) is awake and wanting to play and be held and read to so much more often now (I really miss regular naps!), I haven't had a chance to get out here and update the blog. And by the time I get her down for the night, I myself am ready to drop!

She's napping right now so I thought I'd best get out here and get some pictures posted as quickly as I could.

She had her 4-month check up this past Tuesday and here are her official stats:

Weight: 20lbs 5 ounces
Length: 28 3/4 inches
Head Circ: 17 1/2 inches

She is literally OFF THE CHARTS as far as height and weight go. And she's in the 95% percentile for her head circumference.

Now her weight concerns me but Doctor O. said it's not a big deal as she's so tall and as soon as she starts moving around a bit more it will all fall off. He also gave us the OK to start solids, which we've sorta started. She is more often NOT interested than interested. But she does show a preference for Green beans and oatmeal.

Here are some pictures from her office visit.....

Getting weighed.....



Getting measured (I was praying she didn't pee all over the table)



Waiting for Doc O.



Doc O. giving her a check-up/listening to her heart.....(Gaby rarely goes without anything in her hands or mouth as you can tell!)



How about some more photos? All of these are from the last two weeks, and this first one is from Dad's last day here in Maine. He'll be back in a couple of weeks to spend Memorial Day with us!

Ready for the sun (incidentally, this was the last day the sun showed itself in Maine...it's been RAINING NON STOP ever since!)....



I think this one is self explanatory.







Her first taste of green beans......



Several bites later......



I can't help saying it, but when this kiddo smiles, it lights up everything!!!!!





"Puppy" is her best pal and favourite toy and apparently tastes very good too!












No telling how much longer she'll nap. She's been down for almost an hour now, so I'd best get off my butt and get some laundry sorted and a few other things done before she wakes up.
