Our Little Fourteener


Tomorrow had a well-baby appointment yesterday, and weighed in at fourteen pounds and one ounce. She has finally doubled her birth weight! The pediatrician was extremely impressed by all of the developmental milestones she has met, especially considering her rough start in life.

The amazing five-month-old Tomorrow is:

  • moving objects from one hand to another (and shaking them and turning them over),

  • rolling over (from her back to tummy-- the harder roll-- but not tummy to back!),

  • tripoding (sitting up by using her hands on the floor in front of her for balance),

  • doing push-ups when she is on her tummy,

  • crawling backwards off her Boppy,

  • babbling, mimicking, & singing!

She's a joy to watch grow and learn. The boys get a kick out of every new thing she does. I really love to hear her sweet voice. So far she is babbling "baba" (bottle), "dada", "mamamamamamamamamama" and "bubba" (for brother). The other morning, when she was kicking, trying to eat her feet and screeching loudly, I asked her, "Would you like your socks off?" and she said "off!" It was hilarious! Then yesterday, the doctor asked if she had been sick and Tomorrow said, "sick!" and then giggled. Apparently, girls start talking much earlier than boys. So not only do we get the last word but the first one, too!
