4 Month Checkup

Sophia had her 4 month checkup today - man what a trooper! Last time she cried when they checked her ears, eyes, hip joints and when they listened to her heart! This time though, she smiled and babbled at the doctor the whole time! He got quite a kick out of that. :) She had to get some more vaccinations today - same ones as at her 2 month appt - and they came in the form of 3 shots to her legs and one that was a syrup that she ate. This is where she really was the trooper - after they gave her the first shot it took a good 10-15 seconds before she really realized that she was in pain enough to cry! Then she cried pretty hard for the other 2 shots and only cried/whimpered for about 5 minutes after they finished! She didn't like getting dressed again or being put back in the carseat, but after some loves she was doing just fine and I didn't hear a peep out of her as soon as we were out of the room. To prove it, the picture below is about 5 minutes after she got her shots - see, no crying for her!



She's been a little fussy and whiney at home, mostly just snuggly though. And once her Tylenol wore off she was pretty upset, but overall this has been a MUCH better experience than last time!


All in all she's growing really well! Here's her numbers:

• Height: 24.7 inches (I must have mis-measured last time I tried because there's no way she grew 2 inches in 2 weeks!) - 60th percentile
  
• Weight: 13 lbs 11 oz - 50th percentile
  
• Head: 15.7 inches - 15th percentile

So she still has a little head, which I don't mind because it's cute, and she's growing a ton! So proud of my little girl and how well she did at the Doctor's today!
