Four Months Old

Marin is now four months old! I took her to the doctor last week and she weighs 13 lbs 7oz and 25 inches tall. She did a great job and showed off all of her baby skills to Dr. Cleary. She was vocal, rolled over, did some tummy time and was very cooperative during the exam. The doctor said she no longer detected the heart murmur she heard last time. Nice job Marin!

The weekend before Marin’s appointment, we went down to the Cape again. Katie left a few days early and got to have a special sleepover with Nana and Papa.Chad, Marin and I came down on Saturday morning. They went to the beach, had pizza and went out for lunch. At lunch, Katie spotted a "very scary" mime which was the talk of the weekend. I don't know if it was the white face or the fact that he didn't speak but she was still talking about it when we arrived. Very traumatic!

Mid-day we headed to the South Cape Estates Association's Annual Picnic. It was a beautiful day. They had the picnic near the dock which provided a nice, cool breeze. It was nice to meet all of Nana and Papa’s neighbors. Then we were off to Jack’s 6th birthday party. Jack is my friend Sheryl’s son. Sheryl and I went to UNH together and now she lives near Nana and Papa. There was a huge bouncy house, ice cream and cupcakes. Katie was in heaven. She is now telling people that she's having a “UGE” bouncy house for her birthday. Since I was already planning on having a very small come-by-for-cake-after-dinner party this may be something of a pickle.

After that, we went back to Nana and Papa’s to recover from the day but Katie wanted to head back to the swing set which is right near the dock where the second wind of the picnic was in full swing. The weather was perfect and although our visit wasn’t long, it was a gorgeous, long, summer day.
