For the grandparents

For the grandparents, who I know want to know this sort of thing. And some pictures to break up the text. Isn't my spring baby adorable?

I am just so demure and beautiful. Like the flowers growing up behind me...

Evelyn had her six-month check-up and she is, officially, HUGE. Tall, actually. Here is the breakdown.

Weight: 17 lbs, 13 oz. (85th percentile)
Length: 27 inches (90th percentile)
Head circumfrence: 17 1/8 inches (80th percentile)

No, I said 'step, tap, step, tap!' Where is my gin and tonic? You! Over there! Get off the stage and bring me my drink!!

She is big. Big big big. So big that the pediatrician said she has outgrown baby tylenol and is now ready for children's tylenol. So big that she is almost too big for her car seat. We're probably a month or two away from needing to get the "big kid" convertable car seat and retiring the infant car seat. She is happy and healthy and developmentally on-target (or a little ahead...really, she's a genius).

I have an old man face. Grrrrr. I stick my gums out at you!

The only health-related excitement around here is that my lower eyelids have had some sort of a reaction to this eye cream I tried to use and now I look like I'm either high or infected with pink eye. It's awesome.

But that is neither here nor there. Evelyn is good. And that's all the grandparents care about. :)
