4 Months!

A week ago our little lady turned 4 months old! John and I are still shocked at how fast time has passed and it's evident as her size and facial features continue to change. She had her 4 month check-up this past Tuesday and again, we are so blessed and fortunate to inform you that Kate is doing great. She weighed in at a whopping 15 pounds which put her in the 80th percentile for children her age. She is 25.75 inches long which put her in the 95th percentile. Needless to say, she gets her height from her daddy!

Unfortunately the doctor's visit also meant a couple of shots as well. John was able to make it to this appointment which meant that she received lots of hugs and kisses from the both of us immediately following the procedure. We had a heartbreaking evening as she continued to cry until the Children's Tylenol kicked in, but once it did she was able to sleep. We were relieved when she woke up the next morning and she was back to her normal self.

Due to Kate's growth, our doctor also gave us the okay to start her on rice cereal and she can now use her exersaucer! We will give her the rice cereal later today and she already enjoyed her first exersaucer experience! We will post pics later of both events, but until then feel free to enjoy some family pics that were taken on Kate's 4 month birthday!
