4 month check-up

We braved the frigid temperature, blowing wind, and mounds of snow for Sienna's 4 month check-up this morning at 7:50 AM. We bundled her up to keep her warm, since I think it was all of 5 degrees outside. Whew!

Anyhow, the check-up went well. She got 2 shots, and only cried for about 30 seconds afterwards. She was able to calm down A LOT faster than when she got her last round of shots. We still felt sorry for her, though! Sienna weighs 15 pounds 4 ounces (80th percentile) and is 24 3/4 inches tall (60th percentile). She's been doing quite a bit of growing over the past couple months. At her 2 month appointment, she was in the 60th percentile for weight and the 25th percentile for height. Whew! No wonder I've been feeling like she's been a chowhound lately. :) The doctor said she's hitting all her development milestones on-time, or even a bit early. She's almost able to sit-up on her own, which normally doesn't happen until 6 months. We are going to start feeding her rice cereal once or twice a day, which means she is going to need her high chair! I can't believe she is already going to start learning how to eat from a spoon. Wow. We are really loving this parenting thing!
