Today was Baby’s First Earthquake (http://www.trinet.org/eqreports/old/16October99-131500.html). Lucinda had woken up to eat at 2:15 this morning, and she went back to sleep at 2:40, just before the earthquake. Fortunately, she slept through the quake, as well as the endless hours of Daddy’s pager going off for the rest of the night.

Another visit to the pediatrician. More shots, so she’s a bit grumpy now. She is now 7.4kg (16lb 4oz) and 65cm (25 1/2in).

Perhaps it was inevitable, but Lucinda got her first cold last weekend. Then she gave it to us, making it our first Family Cold. Yecch.

More shots today. The current numbers are: 6.7kg (14lb 6oz) and 62cm (24 1/4 in). She is still firmly in the middle of the average growth curve.

Lucinda’s first tooth is starting to come in. It’s one of her lower incisors, and it’s just poking out above the gum. The second incisor is just visible through the gums, so it’s not far behind. Needless to say, she’s not terribly pleased about this, but that’s just the way these things go.

Today was another appointment with the pediatrician. She got four shots of various vaccines. She is currently 5.2kg (11lb 6oz) and 58.5cm (23in), which places her pretty much on the average growth line.

Lucinda visited with the pediatrician today. She is now 4.74kg(10lb 7oz) and is 53.5cm (21 in).

Lucinda is up to 3.8kg (8lb 6oz), and has grown another 1.2cm (1/2 in),which makes her 51.4cm (20.25 in).

Today was her first office visit with the pediatrician. She got her first vaccination, although we didn’t get a little “Baby’s First Shot” plaque to commemorate the occasion. In nine days, she has grown 0.6cm (1/4 in), and gained 0.43kg (15 oz).
