Molli had her four month check-up yesterday and all is well.  She is ahead of the game in some of her developmental milestones, which we already knew. (side note:  Myles and I will not be parents who brag about or expect their children to do things early or consider it anything significant.  We understand that all babies develop at slightly different rates and it doesn't matter to us at what rate Molli develops as long as it is normal and healthy). Molli's pediatrician is really wonderful.  He is a very kind, down to earth man who knows his stuff and is good about sharing information.  The man can talk, but we really enjoy him.  I love that Molli is being taken care of by someone who obviously loves his job and is efficient and relaxed about it. She was a champ throughout the entire doctor visit.  Since she's been on her reflux meds, she's been able to keep a lot more of her food in her body and has gained weight very well!  She was 12lbs 12oz and 24in long!  This puts her at the 32 percentile for weight and length (which is a substantial improvement from being about 32% in length and 13% in weight previously!). We are proud of her growth  =)  She also got shots and only cried for a few seconds.  It was sad, but not as sad as last time.

In about an hour, Molli and I are going to a little coffee shop, The Owl's Roost, to meet up with some of my girlfriends and their kids. It's always nice seeing friends, though the occurrence of such visits are few and far between.  It's a perfect day for such a visit, considering it's good and snowy outside!  Snow just makes cozy happen, and what better place to feel cozy than with friends in a coffee shop with walls lined with books?

We have been working to get back into our routine here at home and it's going well.  Molli has even been compliant to go to bed awake and fall asleep on her own, most of the time without an argument!  It's amazing considering a week ago she required being held and walked around before even considering letting herself sleep.  I think she's already aware that there are things to miss out on when she sleeps!
