4 Month Check Up

Rebecca had her 4 month check up this morning. She's a big, healthy girl :) She is meeting all of her developmental milestones. And apparently she's eating well. She weighs 16 lbs.!! (almost as much as her 6 month old cousin) She's in the 95th% for weight. No wonder her 3-6m clothes already fit so well (we'll see how much longer!). It's time to move up to the next size diaper too...because of her size and the size of her messes :) She is 23 1/2" long (25th%...a shorty). And her head is 16 1/4" (55th%). The Dr. was not too concerned about her head (no helmet!). He said it is not a medical problem (the bones did not fuse oddly) and should get better as she gets older. We just have to make sure she spends as much time off the back of her head as we can. She had 4 shots today. She cried a little, but not too bad. She played well after lunch and is taking her normal afternoon nap now. So that's a good sign. Hopefully she stays feeling ok. I think a little more meat on her legs this time is helping :) But they can take a while to kick in. The Dr. agreed with me that there is no need to start solids until at least 6 months. So we don't have to worry about that for a while. Rebecca is getting plenty from Mommy :) Overall it was a great check up. We feel so blessed to have a beautiful, healthy, smart little girl. She goes for her 6 month check up on Oct. 21.

Rebecca is really starting to play with her toys. She now grabs on to anything in front of her. And it goes directly to her mouth. She loves her rings and all of her monkey stuffed animals. She's even starting to become playful when she's on her tummy. And she's talking up a storm. Such sweet sounds :)

We are going to another Whitecaps baseball game this Saturday. We're going to have to start bringing toys with us now to keep Rebecca entertained! Sunday we'll be in Flint for cousin Carson's baptism. It'll be fun to see Rebecca and Carson together and watch them interact.

There are more August pictures and some new videos.
