Four Month Check-up

Dear Lily,
We have had quite a busy week. You had your 4 month old check-up. The doctor said you are in perfect health. Here are your stats:

Weight: 17lbs 9 oz (97.45% of growth percentile)
Length: 2' 1.5" (82.29% of growth percentile)
Head circumference: 16.5" (67.26% of growth percentile)

Translation: you are a VERY big and VERY healthy baby. The doctor also said you should be sleeping through the night by now (which you are not doing). We have started a little bit of sleep training and we may have already made some progress. We will have to see how the rest of the week goes. The doctor said that you are now big enough to start eating some solid foods. Yesterday you had your first taste of something other than milk. At first you were a little confused about what to do with that spoon but, you figured it out very quickly and seemed to really enjoy it!


Daddy took some video and will have to post it later. I think you actually got more of it in your mouth than on your bib. I should have known that you wouldn't have any problems learning how to do anything related to eating.

Love,
Mom
