We went to the pediatrician on Monday for Presley's 4 month check up a couple of weeks early. Evverything looked good and of course she got 3 more shots, but took them like a champ. I just hate it when she cries like that, it is just so sad, tears and everything :( He was a little concerned about her weight. He said for her height she should weigh more, but when he checked the curve on her growth chart he said she was fine. I was glad to hear that because I did not want to put her on supplemental formula. She is still eating every 3 hrs. and only taking 4 oz. which he wants to try and increase, but she is pretty stubborn. He thought that was why she couldn't make it through the night. He said maybe my milk was like skim milk...well at least something on me is skim! haha and that she was just a little bean pole, hmmm have you met her dad? Let's hope she has his jeans as far as body types go, tall, thin, and long legs...mix that with the blue eyes and we are IN TROUBLE!! He also said that the spot on her head and back are hemangeomas (??) and that they should go away with age. The one on her head looks like a sore, so I hope it goes fast.
Here are her stats:
height 25 in. 89 %
weight 12 lbs. 6.5oz 38%
head circumference 15 3/4 in. 36%
Since he is not exactly happy with her weight he wants her exclusively breastfed till at least 6 months, but did say we could give her just a little bit of cereal at night to help her sleep longer. So, we tried it tonight and got some video. I feel like bad parents, we find our child so comical and laugh at her too much, but she is just so cute and funny that I can't help it!
Quit torturing that kid! Mix in some applesauce or bananas (Sadie loves apricots) and she'll gobble it!
