4 month Dr. Appointment

Our "little" girl had her 4 month doctors appointment today which means she got measured, checked out, and shot up. That's a lot for her to go through all in one doctors visit, but Lauri has informed me that she made it through with flying colors. There were some tears during the shots, but a quick bottle afterwards solved that problem.

Norah is now in the 95 percentile for both height and weight for girls at her age (16.10 pounds - 25.75" long). I guess she comes by her height honestly though.

Here's a picture Lauri sent me after their appointment, the text that went along with it was from Norah saying, "I'm ok daddy, I miss you"...

In other news,

A friend of mine from college made the paper over the past few days for a project he'd worked on. The firm he works for (Integrated Architecture) has designed a new shower facility for the state of Michigan to use in their State Parks. It's an eco-friendly design using all the latest and greatest green strategies and technologies. The project pictured in the article is at the Grand Haven State Park, and apparently they plan on building another one in a park in Gaylord, MI.

I first read about it in an email that I'm subscribed to that talks about development news in the Grand Rapids area. Their article linked to an online news source I'd never heard of. So I just figured it got some local press, still not to shabby. So I emailed him to say congrats, and he informed me that the AP picked up the story, and ran it in papers all over the US including USA Today! That's just Crazy talk!

So Congrats again Ryan.

Go Blue!
