Pru’s visit to the doctor contained the last set of shots for a while (whew!) and more than the normal amount of wiggling while her measurements were taken. She’s still healthy and growing steadily. Need proof? We’ve got that.
Height: 33 in. (85th percentile)
Weight: 24 lbs. (50th percentile)
Head circumference: 48 cm [...]

Pru had a check up this morning.  Everything went smoothly aside from the measurement-taking and the vaccination-giving.   Fortunately, cookies still work as a ameliorative gesture:

Height: 32.0  in (90th percentile)
Weight:  22 lb 14 oz (50th percentile)
Head circumference:   47.5 cm (90th [...]

As a gift, we gave Pru a visit to her new pediatrician.  We even threw in some vaccinations – for free!  We are generous and wonderful parents.  The relevant stats (and a picture or two) are below the fold:

Weight:  22 lb 14 oz (89th percentile)
Head circumference: 46 cm (87th percentile)

We have arrived in Rensselaer.  At the moment we’re just hanging out, waiting for the movers to catch up to us.  Cal is very fond of having an almost entirely carpeted living space, though his feelings towards the two flights of stairs are somewhat more mixed (as mine will no doubt be soon, once you-know-who [...]

…but Texas wants her anyway.
Ready to depart for Pru’s first ever-trip to Texas.  It will be a three-way reunion:  Sarah’s 10th high school reunion, a Horney family reunion, and my long-awaited reunion with Whataburger.
Are we excited?

Seymour Skinner:

Superintendent, I hope you’re ready for mouth-watering hamburgers.

Superintendent Chalmers:

I thought we were having steamed clams.

Seymour Skinner:

Oh, no, I said steamed hams. That’s what I call hamburgers.

Superintendent Chalmers:

You call hamburgers steamed hams?

Seymour Skinner:

Yes, it’s a regional dialect.

Superintendent Chalmers:

Uh-huh. What region?

Seymour Skinner:

Uhh … Upstate New York.

Superintendent Chalmers:

Really? Well, I’m from Utica, and I’ve never heard anyone [...]

Let’s see, what can Pru do now?
One thing is sit up on her own.  She does eventually fall over (or, more often, slouch over) but she can keep her self up for long enough that I think we can add this to her official skill set.

Her manual dexterity is also developing nicely.  She’s a grabbing [...]

Milestone Alert:  Pru rolled over last night!  Not just once, but multiple times!  She went tummy to back.  She still can’t consistently do it every time she’s plopped on her belly, but it’s a good start.  She was kind enough to wait for daddy to get home from work before successfully rolling over, which was [...]
