Four Month Stats

Jillian had her four-month well-baby visit today. :) She's the picture of perfect health. ;-) Here are the stats:

At 4 months:

• your child is 12.4 pounds, and that is at the 14th percentile for weight.
• your child is 24 inches, and that is at the 26th percentile for height.
• your child has a head circumference of 15.7 inches, and that is at the 12th percentile for head circumference.

She was a perfect little angel during her appointment. :) Dr. Harris says she looks great and we can start her on some rice cereal in her bottle to see how she handles it, and if she does okay, we can start solids. I had told him that I was a little hesitant on starting solids because she's so sensitive.

She got three shots, poor baby, as well as the rotavirus booster, which is taken orally. She cried initially, but was fine after a couple of minutes. Then I brought her home and she took a really looooonnnggg nap in her swing and woke up a little sore. I was right about to feed her and I must have picked her up the wrong way because she started wailing. I had to give her a dose of Tylenol. After a half an hour of the "sup-sups" and a lot of cuddling by Aunty Kate, she had calmed down enough to eat.
