4 month Doctor Visit

Sarah had her 4 month doctor visit today! Here are her stats:


Weight: 13 lbs 10 oz (she was 7 lbs 10 oz when she was born)

Length: 24.5 inches (she was 18.75 inches when she was born)


The doctor said she's in the 50th percentile for both length and weight - which is perfect! He also said that she looks great! He said not to worry about her not rolling over all the time...that she'll get there and he laughed when I told him about her scooching on her back around the house - he told me she's going to be quite the handful! He said that she's doing really well developmentally as well...with the way she sits up, holds her head up and the way she is so aware of everything going on around her (hearing and vision)! Yea Sarah!!
She also had to get 4 shots (2 in each leg) and the oral Rotavirus vaccine - which she loved last time but hated today. My poor baby!

She pretty much screamed as soon as nurse Bonnie looked at her when we got to the office and continued to scream through the measurements, doctor's exam and shots (which I expected) until we got out of the building. I don't get it! She was great with them last time! I think she remembered what happened the last time she saw them...she got shots then too!
She slept all the way home from the doctor's office and slept for another 2 hours (which is a lot for her during the day) but she's up and has eaten and is now playing (and screeching that lovely new noise of her's!) on the floor!
Here's a pic of her from this afternoon...she still has her bandaids on her legs from her shots!
