Mara had her 4 month check-up today. She was very brave and didn't fuss at all when the nurse was weighing and measuring her, nor when the doctor examined her.
Stats
Weight: 17 lb 0oz (92%)
Height: 27 in (100%)
Head circumference: 42.5cm (93%)
So yeah... she's incredibly tall for 4 months.
She received 3 vaccinations today, one oral and two injections. She got the Pentacel (DTaP, IPV, Hib), the Rotavirus and the Prevnar 13. If you are planning to criticize me for vaccinating my daughter, save it. I'll delete the comment. Moving on.
Mara was a champ and didn't even notice the first injection. The second one she furrowed her brows, screwed up her face, opened her mouth, took a deep breath and said... "wah." And that was it. Like I said, a champ.
The doctor said she's ready for solid food so I mixed a little Gerber oat cereal with breastmilk and fed it to her. She actually managed to eat some! Not gracefully, but she did it. Cute little thing!!
The infant acetaminophen soon wore off and she was super crabby the rest of the night. Finally she passed out while nursing at 7:45pm and has been sleeping peacefully ever since. Sleeping... well.. like a baby.
