Today we took Madelyn to the pediatrician for her 4-month well-check appointment and it went very well. She's very healthy and growing each day. She's also on track or ahead with milestones for her age such as rolling over, laughing, and grasping toys by herself.
Stats:
Weight - 14 lbs, 9 oz (75%)
Height - 24.5 in (50%) [Eric thinks her head was turned a bit and is closer to 25 in)
Head - 41.3 cm (upper 50%)
We're pretty surprised that Maddie is now in the 75% for her weight since she's been so skinny and long but I guess her baby chunk has finally arrived. Mommy loves it!
Things We Want to Remember About Maddie at 4 Months Old:
- She loves people and will give a big smile and excitedly bob her head at just about anyone she sees.
- She loves to stand up with our assistance
- She has a soft but joyful laugh
- Her burp cloth is her favorite "toy"
- She's curious about every noise and activity and will practically do a backbend or turn herself around in my arns to see something.
- She has a bit of stranger anxiety when someone else holds her, even though she will smile first and then cry.
- She rolls over and over all the time now and Mom and Dad have to watch her more closely or she'll roll alway!
