4 Months Old!

Kylie turned 4 months old on Friday! We celebrated with a trip to the doctor for a check-up. She did great at the doctor's office. I was shocked considering we had to wait an hour and a half before we saw the doc(we had an appointment but they were extremely backed up, note to self never make your child a doctor appointment on a Friday afternoon :). Kylie did great though, was even pretty good through the 4 shots she had to get. It is so amazing to see how much she has changed since birth.

Her FOUR Month Stats are:
Weight: 13lbs.15oz - 50th percentile
Height: 24 1/2" - 50th percentile
The doc said she looked wonderful and he was thrilled to see that the colic was gone!! He did confirm that she is indeed already teething. We had a hunch due to the fact that everything goes in her mouth and she is drooling more than Porter. Wen-Wen said I didn't start teething until pretty late, but Honey checked Lee's baby book and he cut his 1st tooth at 4 1/2 months. So I guess she gets this from her daddy. Dr. Hammad gave us the go ahead to start rice cereal as well as stage 1 yellow fruits and vegetables. He said given her sensitive stomach try her on the rice over the weekend and if she doesn't have any issues go ahead and introduce her to some baby food. Honey and I were going to Christmas Village in Bham on Saturday so that was the perfect opportunity for me to find these before the feeding begins:

Perfect timing. We only had a few small bibs and boy am I glad we bought so many b/c the 1st feeding looked like this:



She really did pretty good! I guess giving her all of those syringes with meds has helped her understand how to take a spoon a little better than most 4 month olds. And she did even better this morning! Yay, hopefully the rice and baby food will help us get her in a better sleep routine. We are still pretty sleep deprived.
All in all we had a wonderful weekend. While Honey and I were in Bham on Saturday, Lee kept Kylie. This was how he entertained her:

Apparently the Bumbo can be used for many, many things!
Today we went to church. This was my 1st time to put her in the church nursery and she did great. She was whooped when we got home and ended up passing out in the swing.
