Yesterday we took Alex to her 4 months check up. They measured her and she is now 22.5 inches (95th %ile) and 15.15 pounds (75th %ile). Her doctor is very happy with her progress and she says that Alex looks great - and I agree. She is healthy and happy and that is the main thing. Here is what confuses me: they measure her height in inches and her weight in pounds but her head is measured in cm. Any ideas why??? Why can't the US just change over to the metric system? Everything other than metric is a pain in the butt and to this day I have a hard time being able to visualize anything other than a metric measurement. I will never get used to it. But anyway... Alex also got some more vaccinations. One that she swallowed and three in her upper legs. Needless to say that she cried terribly and it breaks my heart to see her like this. But it needs done and I understand that. Amelie right now is with Grandma. She will be back tomorrow. It is like a vacation around here since Alex is so easy. We get up at around 9am and leisurely start the day. With Amelie it is somehow always go go go... But that is understandable - she is 5 after all.
As we say in Germany: slide well into the new year!!! (We do not wish a happy new year before it has not arrived because this is considered bad luck. The same is true for Birthdays: do not wish me a happy Birthday before my actual birthday - you are tempting bad luck and I might never make it to my happy birtday!!!)
GUTEN RUTSCH INS NEUE JAHR!!!!!
