4 Month Check-Up




Yesterday Melanie had her 4 month check-up. It consisted of 4 shots-2 in each thigh, and one oral vaccine. Not too fun! But, I know in the long run she will be a very protected, healthy little girl. We were given the OK to start cereal. Which we may or we may not. I'm not in a hurry. She seems to be quite satisfied with breast milk only. So, we'll see. The Dr. said she is doing very well. She is growing at a steady rate. Melanie is holding her head up, smiling, giggling, rolling over, reaching, grasping, interested in being sat-up, and of course has TWO teeth. So aside from her injections, Melanie had a very good, productive appointment. Her measurments are as follows:
Height: 23 3/4 in.
Head Cir.: 16 1/4
Weight: 13 lbs. 7 oz.

Cute blog, Michelle! I can't believe Melanie weighs almost 13.5 pounds--she feels like a feather when you hold her. Her smile is adoreable. Thanks for the pictures, too.
Love to all,
MOM

Melanie and Kate were just about the same weight (Kate was 13.15). But Kate was taller at 26 inches! Melanie's head is bigger.

Dr. Bain said we could start putting Kate in the Johnny Jumper at this age. Do you want ours?
