4 month check up

Just a quick update before little Miss Vi wakes up from her nap.  She went in for her 4 month check up today and was a stellar patient.  Everything's looking good.  She has a bit of cradle cap but the doctor said that's normal given how dry it is right now.  Everything else is perfect (which we already knew!).  She did a good job growing...she's just over 15 pounds (82% percentile) and almost 26 inches (a 3-4 inch growth from last time!).  She needs to start rolling over, but a lot of that is our fault.  She needs less tummy time on us and more on the floor ;-)  But how can you NOT hold her???  Hee hee. Dr. Christy gave the green light on solids and said whenever Ali seems ready.  She said it's important to do it when she's ready, there's a small window of opportunity and if you wait she'll lose interest.  Of course, Ali is VERY interested right now.  She watches, amazed, as we eat and even chews when we chew.  Her and I stopped at Meijer on the way home and got some rice cereal and baby bowls.  We didn't get a chance to try it today though, she had some more shots and they've knocked her out.  I even have to go wake her up now just to make her eat and go to bed!

Shannon! How exciting! I'm sure she'll be so much fun with the rice cereal! Can't wait to see an "eating" video on FLIP. Congrats on her growth and great check-up!
