Madison's 4 month appointment

Madison had her 4 month appointment with Dr. Heil.  He couldn't believe how strong she was and thought she was very engaging!  Here are her stats:

Height - 25 inches - 72%
Weight - 13.6 - 40%
Head Circumference - 40.6cm - 36%

Our little shrimpy is still showing a trend of dropping in weight, so he recommended we give her one tablespoon of rice cereal once a day to help her out with some extra calories.  He also said that my milk supply is better than average (around 6 oz. a feeding) so it must mean she has a fast metabolism.  Let's hope that stays with her throughout the rest of her life!

She was so funny when it came time for her shots.  The first one they give is the Rotavirus which is in a liquid form that they swallow.  She must have remembered that after that one came the ones that hurt so she just started crying and crying as soon as she had to start swallowing the Rotavirus - what a smart cookie!!  She cried more than last time with the shots but was happy once I picked her up. 

So this tees up the rice cereal video...enjoy!
