Abby went for her 4 month check up today. She is weighing in at 13.2 pounds and is 25 inches long. That is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. The doctor said that she is growing great and has reached all of the milestones that she needs to. For example, able to follow people around the room, roll over, and make good facial expressions. He recommended more tummy time and just to generally speak to her as much as possible so that she will learn more sounds.
He also said that we could start to introduce pureed fruits and vegetables. We can introduce one a week so in case she has an allergy to one of them, we will know which one. This is very exciting! I cant wait to go to Babies R Us this weekend and get some small bowls and spoons. It is hard to believe that she can start eating "real" food now. Of course, I always said that I would try any food when she did, so this should be interesting. Ill keep everyone updated.
She also got more shots today. Last time, Stuart held her while I looked away. This time, I thought Stuart wasnt going to be able to make it, so I was really dreading it. But he showed up just in the nick of time! He still held her, but I actually watched this time. It was really bad! Last time, she cried really hard and then crashed for about 3 hours. This time, she cried for about 10 minutes and is now up and playing. Guess she is getting used to them, although I am not!
