4 month appointment

Addelyn survived her four month doctor appointment this morning. She came back with a great report. She is weighing 13 lbs, 11 oz. and is 24 1/2 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for both length and weight. She is in the 25th percentile for her head size. Dr. Van Sickle said we could start trying to feed her a little cereal sometime soon so Mark and I may try that out in the next few days. Fun times, it is a whole new world we'll be entering now!

She also survived her three shots, poor baby. She continues to surprise us and pulled out even LOUDER screams than we've ever heard before. But within minutes, she was asleep and still is. I think those darn shots stressed her out and she is sleeping to cope. :)

She ROLLED OVER last night for the first time from her tummy to her back so that is exciting! She did it once and then we would put her back on her tummy and she just kept rolling over every time. She has reached a new milestone. Once she rolls from her back to her tummy- then I know we'll really have to be careful- to make sure she doesn't roll places she shouldn't (off beds, etc...)

We also heard her first real laugh last night. She has made laughing sounds before but last night she was really laughing for extended periods of time. There is a toy that she really loves- a blue elephant with designs- and everytime we put it in her tummy, she would just giggle and giggle.

We are having so much fun......
That's all for now. Have a wonderful rest of the week!
