Late journal post - and I'm kind of swamped with work, so this will be short. I only have a couple of things to say, anyway.

Item #1: Penny's checkup. She's twenty-seven and a half (ish) pounds, just shy of 31 inches tall. Her appointment ran a bit late because her usual doctor was still at the hospital taking care of a new baby with a few minor problems, but that's one of the advantages of a practice. The fill-in doctor said she's the picture of health; the minor issues Matt and I mentioned were nothing to worry about as long as everything else seemed normal; and I'm not to worry about her lack of speech yet, since she seems to be working toward it and has pretty good comprehension of what we say to her.

Item #2: Thank all the gods it's Friday. My birthday was really a fantastic day - but the rest of the week has left a good deal to be desired. I'm looking forward to what I hope will be a good weekend. (Starting tonight. We've got a coupon for Uno's...)
