4-Month Checkup

Emily went to the doctor today for her 4 month check up. She is doing great. She is 26 inches tall (66 sm) which is in the 95th percentile (small surprise there, just look at how tall her Mom is :) and weighs 15 lbs 5 oz (7 kg), which is in the 75 percentile she has been in since she was born. The doctor checked all her reflexes, her eyes, ears, and throat, listened to her heart and lungs, and everything checks out fine. We are free to start feeding rice cereal if we want to, but I think we'll wait for another week or so for that.  At 5 months, we can start introducing fruits and veggies if we want to, but it's also ok to wait on all that until 6 months. Emily got her 2 shots and a vaccine by mouth, so we'll see how she does the rest of the day. Mommy took a day off just in case, but hopefully, Emily will do fine and not need much "baby-ing" :)  And if she does, that's ok too!  :)
