Checking-in on the Check-up

Abby went to Dr. Worley for her 4 month check-up yesterday. As expected we were told that she is a perfect little girl. She now weighs 14 lbs. and 12 oz., is 26.5 inches long, and has a 16.75 inch noggin. She is nearing the 100th percentile on height, which she oviously did not inherit from her mommy. He said that we could start her on rice cereal anytime we want since she is holding herself up really well. (She can't sit by herself yet, but she doesn't need nearly the support she used to.) We are going to wait until she feels better from her vaccinations to give her her first cereal. I'll be sure to post pictures when we do start, for it promises to be a great adventure. After the doctor played with her for awhile, he left and the nurse was sent in to give shots. Abby was a good sport and didn't cry but for a minute. We are good to go for the next two months at which time she will receive another round of shots and maybe get to start having fun with different kinds of foods.

Thank you Aunt Tiffany for the beautiful dress and sweater!

Abby is well on her way to being a bookworm like Mommy!

This is how I found her Monday morning. She looks
like she has big plans for her pacie. You can't tell from
this shot, but she is actually laying crossways in her crib.

Post doctor's appointment. Check out the stylish bandaids.

She has a new friend. She and ShareBear have had
many stare downs since they were introduced.

She's so big and beautiful! I can't believe that little peanut is so grown up. Good job, Mama!
