Jordie's 4 Month Appt

On Thursday, February 6th, we had Jordie's 4 month well visit with our Pediatrician, Dr. Loeb. We absolutely LOVE Dr. Loeb but were not looking forward to this appt as she was due for 3 more dreaded shots:(

 

Everything else checked out perfect though! We have a very healthy baby who is tippin' the scale at 16lbs 13.5oz and in the 96th percentile! Whoa! Better to be a little tubby than not putting on weight I guess :)

 

We got the go ahead to start solid food so we did just that!! She was enjoying her sweet potatoes!!

So far we've tried sweet potatos, green beans, squash, carrots, and apples. I had to throw one fruit in the mix but I am going to try to stick to all veggies for alittle while because she won't want to go back to those once she tries fruit! :) (I don't blame her!) She is just so funny when she eats, she slurps it out of the spoon, like she's sucking on the bottle, it's too cute. As you can see, she is not a clean eater either, let's just say we jumped in the bath tub after this feeding!

Dr. Loeb also told us that her grazing days have to be over. Lately she's been taking an ounce here and there and she said that should probably stop. So we are doing a strict 'no eating before the 3-4 hour mark'. So far so good, for the most part!

All in all, everything went good, she handled the shots well, and she slept on and off through the evening and didn't really have any after effect which is good. Our next appt. will be at her 6 month and unfortunately more shots :(
