A Bear, However Hard He Tries Grows Tubby Without Exercise*

There seems to be a certain truth in this.  M is now well into her 3-6 month clothing; she still fits into some of the 0-3 month things, but they are all beginning to strain a little in places.  Usually places like her tum, which is, to answer the question posed by Michael Palin in reference to John Cleese, tubby.**

As of this morning, she was 13.3 pounds.

Anyway, this move into a larger size bracket has changed the complexion of her wardrobe.  She has a couple of pairs of jeans, which look very cute, but make her look rather grown up.

I feel that it's only a matter of time until she starts stealing cars and rolling cigarettes up in her sleeve.  But that may be partially because of the cuffed jeans, and the reason for that is that she isn't quite tall enough for them.

Also, in the continuing discussion of what color her hair is, I would like to submit this bit of evidence:

It doesn't look that color all the time, just to be ornery, but in sunlight, that's what it looks like.

Hopefully we don't have to get her a passport any time soon, because the hair color question would confuse me in much the same way that the question on the pediatrician's information sheet as to my occupation did, but that's a story for another day.
