Our Big Girl: Pediatrician Appointment Today

Today was the little one's four month pediatrician appointment. She weighed 16 pounds, 10.5 ounces!



I know, it says 11.5 ounces but her diaper weighs 1 ounce. She did well at the appointment and only cried a little after her two shots. She was really tired because she missed a nap to make the appointment so she fell right asleep afterward.

Here she is at her two month appointment for comparison:



And one month:





Here she is getting checked out:



Super Auntie and Juan went with us to the appointment... Juan was so kind as to take pictures:





I downloaded a sleep log from BabyCenter and we're going to start tracking the little one's sleep patterns to see if that will help us. I asked our pediatrician about feeding her water instead of milk but she wasn't that big of a fan. She said we should just decrease the # of ounces of milk that we feed her.

So happily, she's back on the growth chart as far as weight. I knew that she'd thinned out a little since her two month appointment - probably all the rolling she's doing.

OK, well that's it for today! TGIF!!!

  1. Between pumping and carting that load around, it's no wonder you are a skinny minnie again! :)

  2. She looks so big in that last picture! Is your back killing you from carrying her around, or have you gotten used to it?

  3. You were right PrairieMom - my back has gotten a lot stronger - it doesn't bug me any more.

I am turning comments back on. We'll see how it goes.
