1,000 Things About Joanna

a work in progress.

Tuesday, August 15, 2006

37(?) At your 4-month checkup today you weighed 14lbs, 9oz (67th percentile), were 26" long (94th percentile), and your head was 42cm around (75th percentile). It looks like you'll be a tall girl. I do hope you'll wait until your age is in the double digits before you grow taller than I am.

You were so calm as Dr. Lee stuck the otoscope into your ears, and you really only fussed a little when you got your three shots. In between, you smiled at everyone who walked into your field of view. These people see a lot of babies, and several of them commented that you're an unusually happy kid.


Of course, it's hard to get a smiling picture of you because you become concerned as soon as I obscure part of my face with the little silver box, and then perplexed and a bit miffed at the bright light that keeps flashing at you.

    I've been looking just about everyday for new Joanna news. What wonderful pictures. Is that auburn hair I see? She's lovely. And Ellie is a stunner. And Kevin is looking like quite the dapper dad. Can't wait to see you all.

    Boy, is caryn's comment about the smile fading as the camera obscures the photographer's face accurate - I tried for two-and-a-half weeks to capture that huge grin and have only one shot that looks like Joanna is yawning to show for it...
