4 Month Check-Up

Emily had her 4 Month Check-Up today and did great with the vaccination shots! She cried a little but not half as bad as last time! She weighed in at 12 lbs 13 ozs and 25 1/2" long (45% and 90% respectively). Dr. Joyce said she looks really good and we shouldn't have to "worry" about her weight gain anymore. In fact, she said that we can start Emily on some baby cereal 2-3 times a day. I had started giving her straight formula (instead of fortifying my milk with formula, like I had been doing) because since she got her teeth I couldn't breastfeed her anymore (she's a biter!). The formula doesn't seem to stay down as well as my milk and now she's just chewing on the bottle and playing with it more than eating from it. So, hopefully feeding her cereal will help everything all around! :)

Her next Check-Up isn't until 6 Mos (December) and she'll have 3 shots then. It's hard to believe how big she's getting and she is just so much fun -- I wish you call could see her now. She's laughing, and staring at her fingers, and recognizing voices, and playing with us -- it's just so much fun! :) This past week, my dad was grabbing her toes when she would swing towards him in her swing. Once he would touch them, she'd pull them back towards the swing and giggle. It's so adorable!!

Well, that's about it for now. Hope you're all doing well! :)
