Four Month Check-up

Kayley and I got back from her 4 month check-up late this afternoon. She’s doing great! Kayley has gotten a lot bigger since her last check-up at two and a halfmonths. Here’s how big she is:

Weight: 15lbs and 5oz (90th percentile)
Height: 27 inches (›95th percentile)
Head Circumference: 15 ¾ inches (25th percentile)

She’s a big girl! Z says she’s closer to the average size of a 6 month old. In fact, she’s slowly growing out of her 6 month clothing and into her 6/9 month size clothes. And she only has 3 more inches to go until she’s too big for her Graco SnugRide 30. Then we’ll have to upgrade her to her other car seat and say bye-bye to our snap-and-go system. Hmm we should see how the other car seat fits in our car.

As for Kayley’s immunizations, well since we went in last Kayley has learned how to use her tongue to push out her oral immunization. She thus got it all over her chin and cheeks. As for her two jabs, one in her right thigh and one in her left, they made her cry, which almost made me cry. =( She calmed down faster than her last shots though. She was such a great little girl! Though now we’re dealing with a fussy baby who doesn’t like that her legs are hurting. She’s taking it like a champ though. I’m so proud of her.

We survived the doctor visit and both came out with a smile.

Also, notice the banner changed to this:
I figure since Kayley has grown so much, then I need a more recent picture of her at the top of her blog. Thanks, mom, for taking this great pictures of Kayley. And thank you, Karlyn, for making the fun hat.  Enjoy the new banner everyone!

  1. Her weight is exactly what Cadence was at 4.5 months, but an inch and 1/2 longer... X was my chunky monkey at 17 lbs 11 ozs at his 4 month check up. Breastfed babies in particular tend to chunk up quickly their first 4 months, and then growth starts to slow down. It'll be intersting to see how genetics play out. X is now small for his age, but didn't have much of a chance with two shorter parents :)

    By the way, love your new banner.
