Four Month Check-Up

Today we went to the pediatrician's office for Lena's four month check-up. It went really well. Here are her stats:

Weight: 14 lbs. 10 oz. 69th percentile
Height: 25 1/2 inches 88th percentile
Head circumference: 36th percentile

Hmm, long body, good weight, tiny head! LOL! I was surprised by her weight. We weighed her at our local doctor's office three weeks ago and she was 12 lbs. 10 oz. then. Wow! Two pounds in three weeks! But I wasn't surprised about her height. Her onesies are always baggy on the sides and stretched taut between the neck and crotch. Haven't yet figured out where she gets her tallness, long fingers, and long toes from.

The doctor said she is doing really well with her physical development too. She said it's really great how she is rolling over both ways (she rolled from tummy to back for the first time yesterday and did it twice) and holding her head up and trying to sit. She was trying to grab Dr. Oberlin's instruments and put them in her mouth. Dr. Oberlin was impressed by her grip and the way she brings objects right up to her mouth. Lena was such a good girl during the exam; she was smiling and cooing the whole time. Dr. Oberlin said, "I wish everyone I saw was this happy!"

She got some more shots and did really well with that too. She cried for maybe 30 seconds, then was 100% back to her normal happy self. And it was right before her lunchtime too.

We are so proud of our little girl. I'll post pics of her first Fourth of July tomorrow.

We hope everyone has a happy and safe Fourth.
