4 Month Check-up

Evie had her 4 month well baby visit with Dr. Martin yesterday, December 5th. She weighs a whopping 13 pounds, 5 oz and is now 24 inches long. He was very pleased with her development, and we talked at length about when to start solid foods. I think we're going to wait until she is closer to six months as she seems to be thriving just fine on my milk. She got her second round of vaccinations. She flinched when the nurse stuck her and so she bled a little. Poor thing. She pretty much slept all afternoon after that, only waking up to eat at 2:30. Then did an unprecendented 11 hours last night, sleeping from 7:30 until 6:30 this morning! And it was Saturday, too, so I got to "sleep in" with her. Although I know she's doing fine, it's always reassuring to have the experts tell you so. Her next check-up isn't until February so we'll just keep on truckin' along 'til then.
