Genevieve - October 2004 - Sitting Up Geneveive is already four months old, which is difficult to believe. Blogging about one’s biological (although not legal) daughter is kind of a strange thing (it seems to trivialize such an important event), but Jeanette (her mother) sent me this picture recently, and it reminds me how amazingly blessed I am (which is definitely not trivial).

She’s definitely a “head of the class” child…top 20% percentile in terms of growth and weight, and she’s doing a lot of things that infants tend to do a bit later. She was standing (with help) at three months, and firmly planting her feet (which I’ve never seen a baby do that early). She’s sitting up unaided now at four months. She’s fairly fussy (as I was), and has lots of food allergies (as I did). I can see her mother in her features more than mine, but there are a few pics where its really obvious that I had a hand in creating this baby.
