Abby's 4 month WCC

I took Abby this morning in for her 4 month WCC (well child check-up). She's still developing normally and is healthy. She now weighs 14 pounds, 7 ounces (66th percentile) and is 24-3/4 inches tall (also 66th percentile). She still has a little head at 16 inches (20th percentile), but it's going up in the percentiles and is growing normally, so she's fine. The doctor said I could start giving her some rice cereal now if I wanted to, especially if it would help me remember to give her vitamins, since they really recommend that breast-fed babies take at least some vitamin D.
She got two shots and the oral immunization again, which she didn't like. She kept making faces at the nurse as she'd give her the oral one. It was actually pretty funny.
I take her back for her next check-up at 6 months, as normal.
And of course, my PDA decided it needed to reset itself, so all the appointments I had scheduled there and all the birthdays and everything are now gone. Ah, well.

I am glad to know she is doing well. She is getting big and is so chubby, shes a cutie. How is it having a girl.

Looks like you guys are having a fun summer.
