Girl's weekend

I spent all weekend as the entertainment for girl's weekend at my Aunt Jessie's cabin. It was just her, my mom, Grandma Ackland, and me. I wasn't put down even once! I also got to sleep with Mom instead of in my crib! I slept reeeeeaaaalllly well. With all the snow, we stayed inside, and were forced to stay an extra day. I tried to talk them into pulling me in the sled, but Mom said no.

Only a few hours after I got home, I was taken to the doctor's office for a checkup. He says that I'm in the 80th percentile for both height and weight, and nicknamed me 'Bruiser.' Because I'm so big, he thinks I'll be ready to start eating cereal in about a month. That's exciting. He also said that I wake up lots at night because I need to eat lots, 'cause I'm so big. I think it's really funny that he told my Mom not to worry when I don't poop for a couple of days. I've got a big belly! I got my next round of shots. I'm still concerned that I go to the doctor feeling great and come home sick. I think I have the definition of "doctor" wrong.

I'm almost able to reach for things and grab them. I get lucky sometimes, but I need more control. And soon I'll be able to sit up, too. I can do crunches, but not a full sit-up yet. I now have complete control over my finger to my mouth though. I can suck it whenever I want.
