Ava's 4 Month Dr. Visit
Ava is almost four months old (next week)! She had her check-up and is 14 lbs., 11 oz. (75th%), 25 inches long (80%), and head circumference was 40.5 inches (45%). That's up from 11 lbs, 14 oz. and 23 inches from her 2 month appt! She's growing so fast!!!
Dr. said she's "perfect," "very healthy." We discovered she has a birthmark on the back of her head, which I thought was a rash since her birth. Apparently, it's a "stork-bite" from the birth process. :P Dr. rechecked her eye control, and it is now great--there is no sign of crossing anymore.
No signs of teeth yet...mama says "thank goodness!" The dr.'s also saw the first signs of "stranger-danger," as she would start to whimper and her chin would shake when they approached her and started her physical. She definitely knows who her mama and dada are! We're waiting to start her on solids until 6 months, as there is a decrease in getting allergies if you wait until then.
The worst part was the shots. :P She was already in a crabby mood because she started to get hungry at the end of her appt. She cried so hard her face turned beet red, but as soon as I picked her up, she stopped crying. :) Then, I fed her and all was right with the world again. After a mighty burp, she smiled at me. :) She fell asleep on the carride home and (now home) is still in her carseat dreaming away.
