Maddox's Four Month Check Up

We just got back from Dr. Anderson's office. Maddox is still zonked out in her carseat. She got 2 shots today and it seemed the crying stopped a little bit sooner than last time but it was still VERY traumatic......for both her and I. She is up to 12lbs 6oz and is 25 inches long. She is in the 25th percentile for her weight ( a bit higher) and the 75th for her height ( a lot higher) compared to her 2 month check up. Dr. Anderson is happy with her numbers and isn't worried about her sleeping so much both at night and during the day. He says she'll wake up when she is hungry and per her numbers she is getting enough. He said we could start giving her rice cereal if we wanted. But I don't think her head control is quite there yet, so with his recommendation we'll wait a bit longer. I did tell him about her interest in food and he said that was a good indication she'd be ready when her head got a bit more stable. He says we start giving her cereal not really for calories...but more to introduce new textures/tastes/experiences to her. That should be fun. Let's see what else. He was happy with the report that she is pooping several times a day now but indicated that during this period of her life, pooping can be very inconsistent so not to be alarmed if she reverted back to her every 10 days or so schedule. So we go back again end of March for some more shots and another check up.
