My baby is bigger than yours.
Its probably true- she is bigger than about 95% of all baby girls. At her 4 month checkup, Noella is 25 5/8 inches long and 15 lbs 12 oz.
For some comparisons: Anne's stats at 4 months- 24 inches, 15 lbs. Patrick- 25 inches, 13 lbs 10 oz. and Mariel 25 1/2 inches, 13 lbs 8 oz. So it appears that Noella has inherited both her dad's height and her mom's rolls (at least as a baby- I have far fewer now).
Noella also got four shots today, so she was not in the mood for her monthly photo shoot. We should get pictures posted over the weekend (if she cooperates).

And I'm Spent...

Seriously. Have you ever had to edit a 435 page document? It's exhausting. Ask my editor.

The final version of my dissertation has been sent into cyberspace to be converted into a pdf, and then it will be off. And I will be done. Really, truly done.

And then I can start thinking about turning it into a book manuscript, or my next research project, or..... who knows. But first I will get some sleep!
