Ana had her four-month doctors appointment today. Here are her stats from the appt:
Height: 25 1/4″ (87th percentile)
Weight: 13 lbs 14.5 oz (50th percentile)
Head: 41.7 cm (75th percentile)
Ana had her second round of several immunizations today. Only difference from her last appointment is this time she knew what to expect and started crying as soon as she saw the nurse bring in the tray of medicine. Poor little girl! As for the rest of the appointment, the doctor confirmed what Simeon and I already know: we have a healthy, happy little girl. He said she is developing on schedule and was quite impressed with her physical strength–she grabbed onto the paper they cover the table with and refused to let go. Then she kicked and squirmed just to prove how strong she can be. Yep, that’s mama’s little over-achiever! So the doc said she is now ready to play in a exersaucer or johnny jump-up. She has been trying to stand up a lot lately, so I am sure she is just going to love that! We mentioned the fact that she has been biting/chewing on everything recently, but he said he doesn’t see any sign of teeth yet, looks like I get to avoid that nightmare for a bit longer. Our next appointment is at 6-months, so stay tuned!
Wow! She’s growing so fast! I meant to give you our exasauser when you were over here but forgot. I even cleaned it for you and everything! Sorry. If you don’t have one you are still welcome to use ours. B HATES it (too confining). He thought it was awesome from about 4-6 months. We’ll have to get together soon to get it to you.
We’ll B’s sleeping so I ought to shower and pick up the house while I can!
Oh, those shots are so hard. Worse on mommy than baby, if you ask me (though they’re pretty bad for baby, too).
