Today was Laila's 4 month Drs appointment. She goes every month, which isn't the norm, but I actually prefer it. Anyway, she got another shot and an oral vaccine which she hated. The nurse was surprised, because it's sweet and apparently a lot of babies like it, but not Laila. She weighs 12.13 pounds, is 25 inches long, and her head circumference is 16 inches. Her weight went from being in the 9th percentile last time, to being back in about the 15th percentile, as it had been before. So that is very good.
Two bits of big news from the doctor today. One, it's time to stop swaddling Laila. Awesome. This is going to be a ton of fun. Two, we can start feeding Laila solid food! Well, try at least. She said that if she gags or pushes it all out with her tongue or something than she just isn't ready and to try again a different time. That is very exciting! I can't wait!
My last entry was about Laila being sick... well, her fever didn't last long, it was gone by the next day, but she is still very congested and is now getting a little cough. Poor little thing. I honestly don't know who it is harder on, her or me. I hate listening to her all stuffed up and coughing. I just want her to get over it, and fast.
