Checking in at 4 months

In the middle of our little retrospective on this past summer we thought we'd mention that things are starting to settle in here in Cambridge. Karola is now in her teaching routine, Peter is now in his writing routine, and Samuel is in his Samuel routine. For instance, here he is, having just had a piano lesson from Hans Tutschku. As you can see Hans's unusual method of playing with your feet works well for Samuel.

And then here he is getting his first Harvard coffee with Hans and Hillary. As you can see he has the manners to set his paper hat down while we're at the table.


Well, Samuel had his check in with the pediatrician today. Nothing says, "Congrats on 4 months!" like a couple of shots in your thigh, huh? Anyway, his specs came back as 66cm (26 inches) and 6.5 kg (14.3 lbs). Or, translated into grown-human terms: About as tall as a tennis racquet and quite a bit fatter than one.
