Yesterday Natalie visited her pediatrician, Dr. Bubenzer, for her 4 month checkup and shots. She got three shots (2 in one leg and 1 in the other) as well as an oral vaccine. The doctor said she looks great and seems to be a very happy baby. She was really impressed with how strong Natalie is for her age, especially in her legs. The doctor really thinks she will crawl early! Here are some stats:
Weight: 13 pounds, 12 ounces
Length: 25 1/4 inches long
I didn't get percentiles, but I think she falls right around the 50% range for both categories.
Dr. Bubenzer also said we could start her on rice cereal twice a day -- spoon fed! So tonight we stripped her down to her diaper, put on a bib, tried out the high chair for the first time, and went for it! As you can see, she absolutely LOVED it. She really got the hang of it and wanted more when she was finished! By the time we were halfway through, she would open her mouth really big when she saw the spoon coming at her! I think she'll do great with baby food too in a few weeks!
