Well, we took Granuaile for her four month check up today 
She oohed and ahhed for the doctor appropriately, and rolled over on the table as if on cue. She is now weighing 13 pounds, 6 ounces, which is right at the 50th percentile, and also at the 50th percentile was her length at 24 inches. Her head, well, we’ve had issues with it before and this appointment wasn’t much different. The nurse measured it at 42 cms, the doctor at 40. It is still small, but managed to stay above the 10th percentile either way, so we’re safe from having to have her checked out by a neurosurgeon.
Granuaile at 4 Months
Sears - The Unreliable and the Unfriendly
We have always (okay, not always, but usually) maintained service contracts on our major appliances. The contracts have always been through Sears. We almost never need service, but one time a few months back, we needed service on our freezer. We scheduled a day, we were called the day before to confirm our time, and then the day of, about 3 PM, the technician called and said he was on his way here. He never showed up. I called the next morning to find out what happened, since no one could tell me anything the evening of, and I was told that they overbooked and would have to reschedule. They wanted to give me a date about a week out, after I had already waited four days for the appointment I had been given. We had to take it, even though we had meat and stuff going bad in our freezer.
We Have Roll Over!
At 3 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days old, on August 11th, Gracie rolled over from her tummy to her back With Brighid, when she rolled over the first time, she got a shocked look on her face that was really adorable. With Eilis, we were in a hotel room in North Carolina, Brighid was keeping an eye on her while I went to pump, Brighid took an eye off of her and she rolled onto the floor. She was hysterical screaming, I was crying, I was yelling at Brighid, and no one had an adorable look on their face. With Grace, it was more a look like, “What? You didn’t know I could do that?” No surprise, very matter of fact.
