Four Month Check-Up

Addison's four month check-up on Monday went well. She now weighs 12lbs and 13 ozs which puts her in the 25th percentile for weight. She is 24 inches long which puts her in the 50th percentile for length. She was in the 10th percentile for both at her 2 month check-up, so she is "catching up". The doctor was pleased with her development and she treated him to an array of sounds including a little babbling, a raspberry, and a brief giggle. She also showed off with sitting up with a little support and standing with her arms held. She also fussed when he put her on her belly. That is not her favorite position, but we will keep doing it so she will learn to roll over. He was also pleased with her sleeping 8-1o hours at night--that's mom's favorite accomplishment! She is also putting herself to sleep in her bed now even at Nana's house during the day.

The spots on her face and legs are eczema which he prescribed some cream for. She received 5 more immunizations which was not much fun. Although she screamed through them, she settled down quickly afterwards and fell asleep before we even left the doctor's office.

Addison had her first cereal Monday night after her appointment. She is quite the messy eater. It doesn't help that she likes to keep her hands in her mouth all the time, so cereal was everywhere. We have to start working on our highchair manners. :-) I will have to post pictures later. She will start having cereal 2 times a day next week and then start vegetables at 5 months. My how time flies!!!
