We went to see the doc today for Liliana's 4 month appointment. She is well. She weighs 13 pounds 7 ounces, and is 24 inches long. In other words, she's huge. Lol. She also has a giant head. This doctor doesn't give me the percentiles... so I'll have to do some research on just how big her head is. The nurse said "Wow, your head is BIG!" I was insulted. Liliana just smiled. I just feel like I'm the only one who gets to comment on the size of her head. Ok, Derek too. But THE REST OF YOU better be nice to my baby doll. You're only allowed to tell her things like how beautiful she is, how much you love her, etc. etc. Hahaha. Don't mess with this mama bear, you will not win. She had to get two shots. They did them both at the same time. For once, Liliana actually cried. She had these huge elephant tears and it was sad. She pouted all the way home. In fact, I'll upload a picture of her still pouting when she was sleeping after we got home.
Let's see... what else is happening....
Oh, I have a friend or two!! Hahaha. I'm pretty stoked. I go to playgroup every week even tho my baby doesn't really play. She laughs and is a bad influence on other babies, but that's the extent of her "playing". I feel like it is important for her to be socialized too. Like a puppy. Hahaha. ANYWAYS, this past week I went to hang out with a friend and her daughters. It was sooo cute to see her girls doting over Liliana and it was also sooo nice to have someone to talk to that I actually have a lot in common with. I'm also making more friends at church.
Derek is enjoying his job, I think. He doesn't have anything bad to say about it. He's still amazed at how it feels to be treated like an adult and a person, and not just the bottom of the food chain like he's been at other jobs. He gets off early every Friday, so it seems like we have 3 day weekends every week! Someday we're going to take advantage of that and go to the beach... but it seems to always be sunny during the week and rainy on weekends.
Um... in other news, looks like there may be a time sometime in August that I will be able to go see Harry Potter. Lol. *sigh* That's just what happens when you have a baby. I refuse to be one of those people that takes a baby to a movie that isn't for kids. I'm all for taking kids to like... the latest Disney movie. Those are made for them (and people like me who wouldn't mind being a kid forever) but I don't think most movies are really child-appropriate. Even if I know Liliana would sleep the whole time anyway, think of all the germs in the theater!!! GROSS!!! Also, not that anyone really knows what I'm talking about, but Derek is the best husband in the world and bought me the latest album from one of my favorite bands, mewithoutYou. It's called "It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright" and I will let you know just how awesome it is when it gets here. (On a side note, I'm SO not impressed with the lack of an indie record store around here. There's no support of independent artists around our nation's capital. What's up with that, Obama?? It's crap, I tell you, crap.) Also, Davey Havok is no longer the hottest man on the planet. After 3 years and lots of fun, Derek has moved up to the top spot. And I know he realizes the severe penalty for growing gross scruffaluffagus on his face like Davey did.
Peace out homefrys!
