Teeny Reesey


I took Reese in for her 4 month check up the other day. Here are her stats:

Weight: 12 lbs 8.5 oz (between the 10th and 25th percentile)
Height: 25 1/4 inches (75%)
Head circ: 42 cm (between 50-75%)

I should point out that she is really closer to 5 months and being compared to other 4 month-ers for the percentile info, so she's probably on the lower end of the spectrum anyway. She's so teeny. Eric calls her 10% nowadays.

But being small has advantages. Because she doesn't have much weight holding her down, she's quite strong and mobile for her age. She is a champion roller, easily flipping from back to tummy and back, and she almost always scoots her way off her blankets when I set her on the floor. (Not very quickly, but she gets there nonetheless).

With that, she also is showing quite a bit of walking prowess. Observe:

NOOO! No walking so early! They are no longer a baby when they start walking. She certainly has her eyes on mommy.
What will she start doing next? Adding math problems?
Your children are smart as whips! Thanks for the videos. I miss those little people and you and Eric.

She is soooooooooooooooooo, so cute! And totally a mix of you and Eric. I love how alert and excited she looks, just like Wesley as a babe. I think it's in the eyes. Can we just see each other so I can squeeze her, please? Miss you.
