Once again, two weeks have passed without a peep from Moi. I think of all these great things to share and then when I sit down to blog, Babygirl wants to play. At the moment, she’s sleeping, so I’ll try to catch up.
We went to Hilton Head last weekend for Grandpa C’s birthday. It was nice to get away with the family and we stayed in a neat townhouse in Sea Pines. It overlooked a lagoon and there was a preserve on the other side of the lagoon. There were two alligators that sunned themselves (or rather clouded themselves) on the banks during the day and cruised around in the morning and evening. In the evening, the egrets would come in to roost on the far side of the lagoon. So, we all spent our evenings on the back deck, watching these huge white birds fly in while sipping a cocktail and keeping an eye out for gators. Beautiful scene. Babygirl spent her time rolling around on the floor. Yes rolling. She’s figured out the fine art of immediately flipping whenever she’s put down. Everyone spent their turn rolling around on the floor with her. I think we might even have some good film of it all. Babygirl and I also got twinkie outfits from the Salty Dog. I’m hoping some of her cuteness will rub off on me.
Today, Babygirl and I went for her 4 month wellness checkup. I can’t believe it’s already been four months (as of today)! Seems like yesterday. Babygirl has previously been around the 50% on weight and height. She has now apparently shot up in height and coming in at the 75%, but still at 50% in weight. Long and lean. Sounds like Granddaddy P’s genes. We also have a new doctor as our old one left the clinic. However, I like the new Doc even more, though she went to med school at Tennessee. Boo! (ok, I’m really a closet Vols fan). The Doc asked all the typical developmental questions. It turns out that Babygirl is pretty strong for her age and apparently pretty active too. Doc said that we’ll probably have an early crawler. And not to be surprised if I put her down one day and she moves. She’s already scooching around using a roll/toe-push combo. We’ll have to start baby-proofing soon.
I still have to come up with Halloween costumes for us all. Maybe the Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear. Think it’s been done?

Surely you jest - a closet Vols fan? Wait until others in your family :-) read that! I don't think I ever heard of a doc from UT. Oh well. Babygirl is getting to be soooo much fun. She's one very happy baby girl.
Hey, having loved living in Chattanooga, I have a soft spot for the great state of Tennessee in general. I always enjoyed going up to UT for football and like them 'cept when they play Auburn or South Carolina.
