Four Month Checkup

Laurel had her four month checkup today (she won't actually be four months until next week, but her doctor is going out of town). She did great and was in a really good mood. She now weighs 14 pounds (75th percentile) and is 23 3/4 inches tall (40th percentile)! The girl can definitely eat ;) This time we gave her Tylenol about an hour before her shots and then as soon as they were over I nursed her. Between those two things she did SO much better this time. She only cried for about 20 seconds and then she dozed off while nursing. In fact, she had a much harder time taking the oral vaccine than the shots. Afterwards Tim and I were even able to go get breakfast at Cracker Barrel and she woke up and was in a good mood then.

She is definitely a morning baby (although she is happy pretty much all the time). The nurses and doctor were just eating her up. Dr. Bischoff kept commenting on how social and happy she seems and that he would take her home in a second. Tim and I were joking that she sets the bar really high for any other future kids we might have and maybe we should quit while we're ahead.
