Four months old!

Josh is a big kid.

Weight: 16 lbs. 6 oz., 78th percentile
Height: 26 3/4 in., 94th percentile
Head Circ.: 44 1/2 cm., 94th percentile

Wowser.

Our hard drive died, so no pictures for a while. Before we get your pity, Greg had everything backed up and our computer is under warranty for one more month, so we didn't lose anything, it won't cost us anything, and hopefully we'll get something even better to replace it. So it's a good bad thing.

We also took Macy to the doctor today. She's had a really bad rash on her face and back that isn't going away and that's part of what's waking her up in the middle of the night. The doctor confirmed that she had eczema and gave us some cream. We also took the opportunity to ask about her sleep issues. We talked to Josh's doctor about it, and she told me that waking up in the middle of the night is attention-seeking behavior and I (not we) need to spend more time with her one-on-one. When we talked to Macy's doctor he said to just try to be patient and she'll grow out of it eventually. Neither of these is the answer I was looking for. (Whoa: I almost committed a grievous agreement error.)

You should try California Baby Calendula cream for the eczema. It seriously has worked wonders for Bella! and it doesn't smell half-bad, either. I found it at Target. And it's more like a lotion than a slimy cream or like Eucerin or Aquafore, which is what we were given for it (plus a steroid cream that worked miracles on the bad patches). Good luck!!

Wow! He's taller than Lily and almost weighs as much as her (she weighs 16 lbs 15 oz according to the doctor's scale).

I think I had a dream about you last night but I cant remember any details.
