4 month checkup

Hi everyone,

We went for Kinsey's 4 month checkup today. She's 25 inches long and 15lbs 3oz. That keeps her in the 75th percentile for height and weight.

The doctor said everything else looks good - she's keeping her head erect when sitting up, rolling over, and her eyes are tracking objects and lights right on schedule. She was smiling and showing off for the doctor and the nurse (all before the shots of course).

The shots were not fun at all - she wailed quite a bit, but we gave her a little bit of Gripe Water and she calmed down really quickly and went to sleep. A few minutes later in the car, she woke up for a second and gave me a big smile, so no long-term trauma done :)

Gripe Water, for those of you who are interested, is this amazing all natural European concoction for upset baby tummies. It's got ginger and fennel which are naturally good for stomach upset and it is safe for infants up to adults. Kinsey LOVES it - it works a lot faster than Mylicon gas drops, and anytime she's gassy or really fighting to fall asleep, we give her a little bit and she calms right down. Not every store carries it, so I go to http://www.babys-bliss.com/ and find the local stores that have it.

We'll be taking some more pictures soon I'm sure. Have a great day!
