4 Month Check Up

Madalyn went for her 4 month check up this afternoon. She weighed 13.8 pounds. She was 10.4 lbs. her last check up (she is in the 50th percentile for her weight). She was 26 inches long. She was 23 1/4 inches long last check up. (she is in the 90th percentile for her length.) She got a good report. She can start cereal now for the next few weeks then she will get to start her solids. We tried some cereal tonight, but she was so hungry it didn't go over too well. We will try again tomorrow. Madalyn got another oral vaccine today and 2 shots. Her first shot, the nurse hit a vein and she bleed on her outfit and cried and cried. I felt so sorry for her. However, she seems to be her normal, happy self this evening. Kevin went with me and he said that he thinks all the vaccines should be oral; it hurt him to see her get stuck. She goes again in 2 more months for her 6th month check up. She is growing up fast!
