Mabel’s 4-Month Appointment

She’s one healthy baby!

She did great at the appointment, though obviously wasn’t a fan of the shots.  Neither were we, but she handled them like a champ.

It seems my intuition was right on the teeth.  The pediatrician thought it looked like she would be getting a few (maybe 4-6) all at once. Thank goodness the drooling has been kept at bay by our teething necklace! (hippies)

The stats as of March 11, 2014 (4mo 2 weeks):
Weight: 19 lbs 2.5 oz = 98th percentile
Height: 27.5″ = 95th+ percentile (the + means that’s as high as they measure)
Head Circumference: 90th percentile 

I asked if they knew June’s weight at the same time for reference.  I’m not pumping as much as I would like to keep up with Mabel and wanted to see if it was just me or if she was bigger.  I think it’s a combo of both, but for reference:

June on Feb 8, 2011 (almost exactly 4mo)

Weight: 16 lbs 14 oz = 97th percentile
Length: 26.5″ = 97th percentile
Head Circumference: 93rd percentile

***June weighed 19lbs 9oz at her 6-month appointment.

All smiles when we left and fingers crossed it goes well tonight!!
