Moonstruck

Nora drew a wonderful picture today on her magnetic doodle pad all by herself. I took a picture of it, since it will not last more than 24 hours, I'm sure. According to Nora, it's a picture of Mommy (the big bald, faceless head), Nora (the medium-sized faceless head with some hair, to the right of Mommy's), Caroline (the tiny head covered with hair on the far right), with the moon shining down on them from the upper left hand corner. Nora loves the moon. She looks for it a lot when we are driving in the car, and spotted it the other afternoon, as we were taking Grandma and Grandpa to the airport. She has a good eye; it took all of us a couple of minutes to find it! We had a good day today. Caroline's 6 month check up was a success; at 18 1/2 lbs and 27 1/2 inches, she is on the outer curve of the growth chart, and she seems to be right on track developmentally. She was full of smiles for Dr. Collier, but not for the medical corpsman who gave her the 3 shots she needed. She's been pretty out of sorts all afternoon and took a long nap. And, to boot, I think her front teeth are coming in too. Poor thing. Nora was great today; she had a playdate in the morning, had a good nap, ran around in the playground this afternoon, and wolfed down two pieces of pizza. She is now bugging me to show her clips of Cinderella's Castle on YouTube, so I must be going. At your service, your highness!
