Check-Up & Shots

Josh and I beared the 20 degree coldness this morning and took Emma to the doctor. It was her 4 month checkup even though she is a little over 4 1/2 months old. She weighed 15 lbs 7 oz....but they weighed her with a wet diaper on so she is probably about 15 lbs. She is in the 75th percentile for her weight. She is also 25 in. long.[70th percentile] She has grown 5 1/2 in. since she was born. While we were waiting on the doctor to come in, Emma was laying on the table playing with a toy and she was talking up a storm. Then she would roll herself onto her side but she never got all the way over. I guess because she was holding the toy. But she was really all over the place. I've only seen her roll once but she will probably start doing it more soon. Then Dr. Lowe came in and looked at her, and said that she looked great. Emma was due for her 4 month shots today so she got two. One in each leg. Once they poked her, she cried for about 10 seconds, just long enough for Josh to pick her up, and then she was fine. She always does so great with her shots. I also gave Emma bananas for the first time today and she LOVED them. She ate half of the container. So we will do bananas for 4 or 5 days and then maybe we will try sweet potatoes or something. Hope you all have a great weekend.
