A+ in Baby

Today I turned 4 months old! I don't know about you, but I was pretty excited. 

I even slept a little later than usual, just to show how mature I am. But then, just so I remember my place, my parents did a few things I did not approve of. 

First of all, they put me in the bath again. These days I am willing to tolerate it, but don't be fooled by the relative quiet: this nonsense cannot go on for much longer!

Second, they took me to the doctor for my routine check up. Everything seemed just fine at first. People were nice to me, I smiled at everyone, even laughed at the doctor and tried to have a little conversation. Apparently I am growing very well. I now weigh 15 1/2 pounds, and am 25.25 inches tall. The doctor said I was doing just excellent, and that I get an A+ in Baby. Of course I do! Silly doctor. I thought things were going to continue in the same vein. Wrong! All of a sudden, they stabbed me with long needles! Again! What is wrong with this world?? 
Anyway, I had a good nap afterwards. 

Later that afternoon I started feeling a little weird. My mom said I shouldn't worry, and that it happens to the cat, too, every time he gets his shots. Great, like that helps me. But Tylenol helped. I gather everything looks better when you're on drugs. 

Speaking of the cat, we're really getting closer. Yesterday I petted him, and he was purring. He was so soft, and so black-and-white! Sadly, just as I was about to tear off some of his fur to see what it tastes like, Papa put an end to it. Probably just didn't want to share.  

Today we hung out again. I enjoyed rubbing my forehead on him. To show my gratitude I left some drool on his back. I'll try to taste him again next time. 

That's it for now. I'll leave you with another photo of me with my best friend, Shoshi the Dragonfly (שושי השפירית). I think of her as proof that some things in this world are actually very good. Like, sometimes you get just what you need, even if you don't know you needed it, or who gave it to you. 

Shoshi came in a package, and my parents can't figure out who sent it. But she is the most beautiful thing in the world. She has large wings and when you grab them they make a nice crinkly sound. On one side she's all black and white, and on the other very colorful. Oh, I could go on forever. . . 

Good night everyone!

Love,
