4 months

Julia had her 4-month (and 12 day) check-up on Wednesday. I made Greg come with me and left them all to themselves for her vaccinations. It made no difference -- I could still hear her crying across the building and I still cried. Sigh. I guess there's no way out of it! 

Here are the stats:

Weight

12 lbs 6 oz

15th percentile 

(she jumped up from the 10th percentile!)

Height

23 inches

6th percentile

Shorty!

Head Circumference

3rd percentile

 so yeah...if you're wondering why her birth was so easy it's because of this tiny head

 

BMI

50th percentile

which I guess means in her tiny little stats she is right on target

So at 4 1/2 months old, I decided to put away her newborn clothes. Well, most of them. There are a few she has truly grown out of, but there are others that are just starting to get tight. 

In case you're wondering, she had already grown out of all of these bows when I made her bow collage so these were not featured. We did get a lot of use out of them in the beginning though, although NONE of them would fit on her tiny little noggin until about a month old.

This T-shirt used to fit her! She's giggling because a) she knows deep down her mother is a ridiculous person, b) she knew she was being immodest and c) she's happy to get rid of these clothes!

 

She loves sitting in her Bumbo chair! 

(and for the record, this is still a newborn onesie and it is still big on her)

And she loves her exersaucer which is jimmy-rigged with a bear behind her for back support and blanket underneath her to help her touch the ground.

And at the check-up the Dr. prescribed Zantac for our little barfer who spits up CONSTANTLY and I guess has acid reflux. She said when we get her on solids in a few months it will stop completely. I figured we'd better start practicing with the rice cereal, so here is her first taste.

Not impressed.
