We are growing!

Miss Layla had her 4 month check up this week and as you can see from her stats she is growing! She was 15 lbs, 4 ounces and 25 inches long. Don't mention it, because he might get offended, but Gabe was only 14 lbs, 8 ounces at his 4 month check. ;-) I had the dr look at her "tooth" and she seems to think it is something called a "mucocele" - "An oral mucocele, also referred to as mucus extravasation phenomenon, is a swelling of connective tissue consisting of collected mucin from a ruptured salivary gland duct, which is usually caused by local trauma. The mucocele is a bluish translucent color, and is more commonly found in children and young adults."

ehhhh, I don't know. It really just looks like a tooth to me. And it's white, not blue. Regardless, something is amiss in that mouth of hers because she is the queen of drool and is CONSTANTLY chewing on anything that gets anywhere in the general vacinity of her mouth.

She is such a good baby though. She smiles and coos and laughs out loud when you tickle her. She's VERY tickleish!! This weekend she will be going on her very first camping trip! We are going to the mountians where Daddy can be close to some good trout streams and where we can all hopefully get a little r&r! I think she will really enjoy the cool mountian air! Gabe has been talking about it all week now! He wants to go look at waterfalls! I'll be sure to try and get some pictures!

This afternoon she gets to meet her little friend Tori for the first time! Tori's mommy and I have been best friends since kindergarten and I have the privelege of taking some pictures of Miss Tori this afternoon. Hopefully we can get one or two of them together!

Speaking of pictures, how about a few recents and a few from Easter...
