Four Months of Frances

Frances turned four months old, a little over a week ago. We celebrated by having a quick picnic and a photo session behind Mark's school.


Then we got cold and decided to go back inside. Luckily, Frances can smile anywhere we take her.

At her four month check up, the pediatrician declared Frances to be long and lean. She's 25 inches long (between the 50th and 75th percentile) and weighs a little over 12 pounds (between the 10th and 25th percentile).
She hasn't rolled over yet, but she almost rolled on the pediatrician's table. A little bit of gravity and she would have been off the table. And the pediatrician said it looked like her teeth were in place up in her gums. Hopefully they'll hold off for a good long while. I'm not ready for teeth yet, seems much too grown up for such a little person.

  1. If Nora and Zoe are her guides, she won't get teeth for a good long while. The nurse acted like Nora was days away from getting her first tooth at her 4 month check-up, and her first tooth didn't come in until she was 11 months old.

  2. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I am not ready for big girl stuff, like teeth, yet. We took her out yesterday in her stroller and sat her up in the stroller, rather than putting her in the car seat in the stroller. She looked so grown up I almost got teary. It's possible that had something to do with sleep deprivation. It's Mark's spring break and he is taking over Frances duties for one whole day! I hardly know what to do with myself.
