I either called it right or jinxed the kid by calling her Sprout
Holy Pajamas batman, Sprout needs to stop growing. She is four months old now and is huge. Well, she is 14 pounds and that is right on the money for a 4 month old. She is in the 50 percentile for her age on weight. Height however, she is in the 75 percentile. She is 25inches long. Holy snikey. She also has a 17 inch head, which is in the 70 ( Read more... ) -

Insomnia
Morning birds chirp
Squawk, squawk, squawk
Ducks on the march
Flock, flock, flock

Dock, dock, dock
Must have Vulcan death grip

Cheeky baby is growing up so fast!
Well now, Sprout did something new. Remember how she was flipping me off? That hand expression is now a thing of the past. I was playing with her in my lap when she stretched her hand over her forehead. Her fingers were in the shape of an L. And she was all big smiles about it too. Yep. My child called me a loser. So she has flipped me off, ( Read more... )
