4 Month Vaccine Appointment Highlights

OK, so here are Maeby's stats as of this morning:

She weighs 15 pounds, 8 ounces, which puts her in the 90% percentile (no problem with eating here!). Her height is 23 and 3/4 inches (she's only grown 3 and 3/4 inches since birth--shorty!), so she's in the 30-35% percentile there. And her head circumference is 40 cm or 15.7 inches (25% percentile). Everything seems to be going well and the doc said she is very strong, and so cute that she should be in commercials!

She got 3 shots and the Rotavirus cocktail and although she did scream like nobody's business, she wasn't as bad as I thought she might be. Glad we have two months until the next batch! Now we just have to watch for a fever or any reactions, but I'm not anticipating any problems with this round. She's been great all day since the shots (I gave her a preemptive Tylenol dose) and is currently playing in her Exersaucer.

Tonight we might try a bit more rice cereal and offer her a little banana to go with it. I bet she'll enjoy that!
