4 month appointment


This morning we had Emma's 4 month appointment with Dr. McCormick

Here are her stats:

Length - 26 inches 97th percentile

Weight - 13lbs 8 oz 50th percentile

Head Circumfrence - 40.5 cm 25th percentile


So not much has changed this month, still super long with a little head. She did pretty well on her weight gain, so well in fact that we don't have to go back until her 6 month appointment.

Once again Dr. McCormick said that Emma looks perfect.



Emma showed off and did some of her head sit-ups. Dr. McCormick told Emma that she needed to slow down. She isn't supposed to be trying to sit up like this yet. She told her to take her time and not to rush into growing up.


"Here, let me help you with that."

Poor little girl got 4 shots and 1 oral vaccine. She is a bit sleepy tonight, but she seems to be doing really well.



She even enjoyed a little tummy time.


She also really enjoyed the paper on the table. Look what a mess she made out of it.


Dr. McCormick said that we could start Emma on some solids, so we did. This evening we gave her rice cereal to start.

She wasn't a huge fan at first, but then really like it! :)

I love her little messy face. :)

Our little girl is growing up!

Wow I can't believe she is that old! 4 months and rice cereal and everything. Dr. McCormick is right - SLOW DOWN (and will you tell Jillian to do the same while you're at it?)

We are so glad that Emma is doing so well. Can't believe Emma is ready for rice cereal. That stuff is amazing (not the taste, but the effects on the baby).
