4 month checkup

Devin went for her 4 month shots and checkup this week. She weighs 13 pounds 12 ounces and is 26 inches long. Her weight is in the 55th percentile which is about average but her height is in the 95th percentile which means she is pretty tall right now. Not sure if that will stick or not. She does have some tall grandparent's that she could have gotten those genes from b/c neither Chris nor I are taller than average. She has an ear infection in both ears that she must have gotten from being so sick with this horrible cold and cough she had so she is on antibiotics. The dr told us we can start trying solids now too! I am holding off probably until she is at least 5 months if not a little longer, but we are going to start trying some foods here and there which should be fun. I ordered a high chair for her that should be here later next week and will start letting her sit in it. I might even feed her a little breast milk on a spoon and see what she thinks!

The next day while Devin was at daycare she starting running a fever which isn't all that unusual for her after shots. They called me to pick her up pretty late in the day and said she couldn't come back for 24 hours. So she got to come to work with me two days in a row! The first day she slept in her car seat b/c her little fever then the Tylenol I gave her made her pretty tired. But on Friday, that baby only slept for maybe 1 hour all day made up of multiple short naps. She was such a good baby while she was at work with me. She kept herself pretty occupied playing and didn't fuss one bit!

Here she is the first day...you can tell she feels a little crummy

But the second day she was perfectly fine. It is good though that they have strict sick rules at her school. We made her a little play center on the floor next to my desk.
