Rebecca's Fourth Month

October 9 - November 8, 1997

I like to slurp on my fingers (week 14)	"Friends, Romans, and Countrymen..." (week 14)
Trunky is my friend (week 15)	Wow! Did you see Kajsa sit all by herself?(week 16)
You're right! This IS a good book! (week 17)	They call me cute heart (week 17)
My first Halloween....and I have to be a vegetable?"(week 17)	Ok, I'm all set. Where's the food?(week 18)
Hey, I'm batting .300 at this game! (week 18)	Is he really Trunky's uncle? (week 18)

I went to the doctor when I turned 4 months old. I weighed in at 16 lbs., 3 oz (90%ile) and I am 25.25 in. tall (80%ile). Even my head circumference has grown to the 75%ile. At the doctor's office I smiled and was happy until he looked into my ears. It was all downhill after that, because then the nurse gave me a shot and an oral vaccine. My face turned bright red, my lower lip came out, and then I did the silent scream. Next I did the very loud scream. The good news is that I rested at home that day and am doing fine now! I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky kid these days. I chew on my fingers, talk on my changing table, and stamp my feet. I like to laugh at the little girl I see in the mirror. I have even started to do a really cute belly laugh. I recently surprised my parents by throwing my rattle toy like a javelin! I began blowing bubbles in week 16. One night I laughed and laughed over & over as my mommy made funny bubbling sounds to me. Then I copied her! On Sunday, October 26 I decided to roll from my back all the way to my tummy...My right arm got stuck under my chest, but otherwise it was fun!
