Also pictured is Habiba-one of the girls I tutor.
OH and a momentous occasion--Marcy can kind-of hold her bottles on her own:)
Sometimes the weeks goes by without anything exciting happening at all. Some weeks I turn paparazzi on Marcy because lots of things are fun photo-ops. This week was one of those crazy lots of picture weeks. This week we had Marcy's 4 month check up at the doctor which means more shots and weigh-ins. She rounds out at a hefty 16.5 lbs which is the 95th % for weight and the 75 for head and height. So she's a little plumper than she is tall. The doctor is sending us to the ophthalmologist because we think she's got a lazy eye. (Don't know where she got that from:) We also had to go to an audiologist this on Wednesday because apparently way back when--when we were discharged from the hospital in June we were supposed to get a referral to get her hearing tested. She had failed her newborn screening in one of her ears. We never got referred so at this 4 mo. check-up her pediatrician noticed how silent she is, checked her chart, and saw that we were supposed to have her hearing checked which might be why she wasn't very talkative. This is a long story to say that after a miserable 2 1/2 hour hearing test Marcy can hear just fine:) She just might not have inherited either of her parents chatty personalities!

We acquired a costume for the Marcy from a friend and so one of my tutoring pupils, Miriam, played dress-up with her. Marcy was surprisingly tolerant of being a doll!
The next pictures are just to show Marcy's immense cheek-age. The hat picture is actually her first time EVER wearing a hat. They didn't even ever put one on her in the hospital I don't think? Well this hat was home-made by somebody and is a wee-bit too tight on her noggin:)
I got one of those sling wrap your baby on you thingys, kinda fun, kinda more work than its worth! 
Great rambling collection of pics - thanks for the general updates - say hi to Habiba for me.
