17 Weeks

Although she is not yet 4 "calendar months" (her 4 month birthday is Sunday) she is already 17 weeks old. My, how the time flies ;)

Most of the developmental boards talk about what will take place at her 4 month appointment, which she goes to next week. I did find out some fun facts about Brooke's birthday while surfing today though:

Your baby's birthstone is Opal (Hope)
Your baby's Astrological Sign is Libra
Your baby's Flower is Calendula or Cosmos (White, Yellow and Varied)
Your baby was born in the Chinese Year of The Rat
Your baby will start kindergarten in 2013, be old enough to drive a car in 2024, finish high school in 2026, and will graduate from college with the class of 2030, give or take a year.

This list is actually wrong about when Brooke will start kindergarden (and thus high school & college) because as of now our school system requires that a child be 5 by September 1st. Brooke will miss this cutoff by just a month, and will therefore not enter kindergarten until 2014 ... a few months before she is six years old ;)
