Just Three Words...

TOUGH AS NAILS

Today was Emmy's 4 month well baby check up and I am so excited to share that she is right on target!  She weighed in at 13 lb 3 oz (such a victory for a nursing mommy) which falls in the 37th percentile.  She is 25.5 inches tall, maintaining her place in the 88th percentile, and her head circumference is 41.4 centimeters which falls in the 61st percentile!  She is also right where she should be in the way of developmental milestones.  Dr. Seawell was impressed with her chattiness and assured me that that is something that wont go away. :-p Emmy hasn't shown interest in trying solid foods quite yet (i.e. grabbing for my silverware, salivating while she watches me eat...) so I am going to hold off until she is six months old (or before then if she is seeming eager.)  That is a-ok with me!  Next to come is rolling over--which could happen at any time! She has rolled from her tummy to her back when she gets ticked off enough during tummy time, but it hasn't been a regular occurrence.  We finished off the visit with three separate injections and an oral vaccine...She didn't like any of them, but had a quick recovery time.  After I soothed her, she proceeded to "talk" to me the entire way to the car...retelling her battle story, if you will...It seems we have one tough cookie on our hands. ;-)
