Burning Rice and a Big Baby Bed

So as my child lay peacefully in her crib, of which she spend 2/3 of the night last night ( I went and got her because my bed was too big!) I smell rice, but hot rice, BURNING RICE! I rushed out to the kitchen to see my house FILLED with smoke! What the heck? It has only been on the stove a matter of minutes! So I take it off the stove, run water over it and fan out the house. What a close call that was. I still am not sure why it happened. There was plenty of water on the top, so who knows. Forget the rice, it is a pizza night.

Delilah went for her 4 month physical today. She weighed in at 11lbs 8oz and 24 inches long. Her head was 15. GREAT! The doctor says she is still kind of small, so he said to go ahead and start some rice cereal mixed with breast milk. However, he said he was not too concerned since she is developing well other wise. He said physically she is advanced. She rolls from front to back and back to front, he saw her sit on her own ( which I guess is early), and she has been attempting to "crawl" while on her belly. That head still seems a touch too heavy to actually get anywhere. So she checked out okay. I am one proud Mama. She did get two shots, I cried too, it is so hard to hear that cry. Now she is one sleepy baby!

Tomorrow Daniel comes home, I am so glad. Amazing how much I have missed him. However the time has gone by fast. It will be nice to have his body back in bed. So Delilah will try her rice cereal tomorrow. I want to wait so Dan can experiance this as well. I am so excited!

Today Delilah taught me that baby talk is quite informative. She really gets her point across. That communication is possible, even if the same language is not spoke, if one pays attention. I
