Reece's Four Month Check-up

This afternoon Reece had an appointment for her 4 month check-up, which entailed getting recent measurements, wieght and a few vaccinations. I am proud to share with all of you that she did wonderfully! She did cry a little while she was being pricked with the needle, but she managed to settle down pretty quickly once the nurse left the room.

She has grown almost two full inches since her two month appointment--she is now measuring 25 1/4 inches long! At two months she was 23 1/2...she is growing like a little weed. This time she weighed in at 16 lbs and 13 oz (almost 17 lbs) so she has gained 4 lbs even since her last visit. She is 98% with her weight, 91% with her height and 70% with her head growth. The doctor said she seems to be alert and strong--all in all a healthy little girl.

I am also excited to share with all of you that Dr. Shults gave us the "okay" to begin rice cereal and after that a few fruits and vegetables! I think Doc and I are most excited--I am looking forward to taking pictures and videoing her first tastes of something other than Mommy's milk. I will definitely make sure to post a message with some pictures of that event. We will probably make that our weekend highlight.

I took a half day so that I could spend the rest of the day with Reece, so I had better get going. The pictures I posted are from after the doctor's appointment today and St. Patrick's Day. Her Grandma Pat bought her the Lucky Charm outfit she is wearing--I am pretty sure she didn't get pinched. What do you think?
