Methods Measuring

There are many ways to measure.  Time, distance, weight, mass (which is not the same as weight), volume, brightness (lumens), speed (which is a function of  distance and time) are all measures.  There are also equivalencies.  A 1/3 cup is equal to 5 tablespoons plus one teaspoon.   Sixty-five miles per hour is 104.6 kilometers per hour.  
Is there anything equal to being 4 months old? (tear).  
Probably not (sniff).  E.J. is four months old today.  She has also completed her first week of day care.  Emily Jane did much better than her parents; though her parents are learning.  Four month shots happen on Friday (ouch).  E.J. is talking a lot now, about what, we have no idea.  I'm working on a new video, but our Internet at home is down.  But stay tuned.  
On Friday, along with the shots, we'll learn some new measurements...weight, height (or is it length at this age?).  I only wish they could run a Brix refractometry.  Because if they could, Emily Jane would be off the chart (sniff and tear).

Milestones

Emily Jane is gaining weight and her head is growing. This is not official, like what might be declared by a doctor, but by her father, who thinks her head is getting big and she's getting heavier to haul around. E.J. is making new noises and has begun reaching for things she wants. Here's a video. I know, I know, she's cute, i'm a dork and it looks more like i'm throwing the monkey on her. Oh well.
