According to our pediatrician, Dr. Soppas, all the drool doesn't necessarily mean she is teething or pre-teething. Simply this is the time when babies start to make a lot of saliva and they don't know what do with it all just yet so it just drools out. I'm sort of glad to know it's not that she'll be cutting teeth soon.
Today Sophia had her 4 month well-baby check-up. She is 13 lbs., 15 ounces and 24 and a half inches long! She got another round of the DTAP and Rotovirus vaccines and was such a trooper through it all. Tonight she hasn't seemed to have had any negative effects from the vaccines this time. (Not sure if I posted this or not but at her 3 month vaccines we had quite a scare when she had a 105.4 fever - it was so awful! We're not sure what happened but a fever that high really scared us to death. We got some Infant Tylenol in her and rushed her to the doctors and her fever was down quite a bit after that and then she seemed fine the rest of the day.) The funniest thing happened in the doctors office today though... The Dr. was feeling her abdomen and pushing in here and there and Sophie started to laugh! The doctor did it again and Sophie cracked up again. That got Dr. Soppas laughing, too. It was incredibly cute. Sophie really had a great day today (even with a vaccine!) Jim is on vacation this week so he's getting lots of extra time with Sophie and I think it's really making for happy times for all!

What a special BD present! I simply love that little face. I am taking my laptop with me to Phoenix so I can stay on top of all your experiences. Love to you 3, Kathy aka Grandma
Um, yeah . . . about da drool stuff . . . she will git that drool all over her little hands too, then when Chen & Ollie walk by her, it will just take one touch and she will have a ginourmous amount of hair stuck to her hands! Yep - we've been drooled!
P.S. Mommakitty says she hopes you wears lots of print-patterened shirts!
