Pediatrician's Appointment Month 4

Lots of info from this mornings appointment with Dr. Sacker so I'll just get right to it starting with the numbers
  • Weight 10 lbs 13 ozs
  • Height 23 inches
Ellen has slipped down to the 10th percentile in weight from the 25th but the Dr. was not alarmed. We are going to try to increase Ellen's intake and we may end up supplementing her with a formula bottle once a day. She even suggested we introduce solid food to her if she seems interested so we'll probably attempt the rice cereal any day now, possibly even tonight. Ellen is on the road to solids!! This is one big step closer to bacon...... mummmmmm bacon...... makes my mouth water.

All in all Ellen is doing great and she handled her 2nd round of inoculations fairly well. We'll see if we can fatten her up before her 6 month check up.

UPDATE: Vaccination induced fever last night.... up at 12:45AM and back asleep at 2:00AM after consult with Kaiser RN on phone. Her temperature still high this morning but not worse.
