Abby had her four month checkup on Tuesday, December 20, 2011 with Dr. Hughes. She did pretty well considering she had to get shots again. Abbygale weighed in at 14 pounds 10 ounces (80 percentile). She is 25 inches long (75 percentile) and her head circumference was 42 cm (85 percentile). She had to get two shots and one liquid shot so of course she cried but cried less than at her two month checkup. Poor baby was mad because those mean ol’ nurses hurt her. Dr. Hughes said she is one growing girl and everything looked good. We don’t have another well check until 6 months old and at around 5 months she gets to start eating cereal and stage 1 foods. So exciting! We will introduce one food for five days straight before introducing another food. I think we are going to start with rice cereal and then a vegetable and then a fruit. After the introduction she will eat the baby food three times a day. However, six months is when it is real important to start feeding them baby food so that gives us around a month for Abby to get use to the new texture and everything. Dr. Hughes is so very helpful :) I’m pretty sure she is going to love it because she sure does like her milk!
Abby Morning of her Doctor's Appointment
My Happy Girl
Chillin' with Mommy and Daddy at Academy, Babies R Us, and Chuy's
Poor Baby Doesn't Know What's Ahead!
I'm ready to go home (before we get to the doctor's office)
Daddy and Abby right before the shots
Abby has really done well after the shots. I think she isn't feeling nearly as bad as she did at two months. She has still been smiling and playing. She is just a little crankier than normal but overall being such a big girl! She deserves a thumbs up for sure! I have one strong baby girl!
The morning after her doctor's appointment Abby wasn't feeling well. She had a little fever and you could tell just uncomfortable. Poor baby! This time around with shots was still better than the previous experience.
