4 month doctor's appointment

Laurel turns 4 months-old tomorrow, but we had her check up on Thursday. Laurel did great for the pediatrician! She was on her best behavior and was smiling at her and listening to what she was saying. It was so cute! Our pediatrician is so wonderful and I so appreciate the time she spent with us and answering all my questions. She gave us the go ahead for starting cereal, so we'll start that in a few weeks or so. She also gave us some ways to get rid of Laurel's cradle cap. And for the best part, she said that she liked seeing how Laurel's rolls had rolls! :) Laurel did well with the shots. Her face kept getting redder and redder during the shots and then she let out a big cry when they were over, but it only lasted for a minute. My little girl (with her cute Charlie Brown band-aids) and I cuddled for a little bit and then we were ready to go! Here are Laurel's 4 month stats:

Weight: 13 lbs, 13 oz. (between 50th and 75th percentiles)
Length: 24 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumference: 40 1/2 cm (50th percentile)

Praise God for our healthy girl (with a healthy appetite too :) )!

"Hmm, what's that?"

"I'll see if I can take this off without Mom noticing."
