Update: 4 Month Checkup

Marlena had her 4 month checkup a week ago today. She's continuing to grow very well. She weighs somewhere between 15 and 16 pounds - forgot the exact amount, but I was surprised because I thought she's be a little heavier. Height/lenght-wise she continues to be above average. She measured 25 1/4" long. She's long for her age (she's actually outgrowing her 3-6 month sleepers), but average weight-wise.

The doctor said she's very healthy. The doctor also said we could start introducing rice cereal. I think we'll wait a bit longer.

She also had 4 shots, poor baby. She didn't like that at all. She did sleep all night that night... that was pretty great, but she hasn't repeated that since. It doesn't look like any teeth are comming....
