4 Months

Banks went for her 4 month well-check yesterday.  She is doing great - growing and thriving!  She is still little, but now in the 25th percentile across the board. 

4 Month Stats:
weight: 12 lbs 10oz
height: 23 3/4 inches (3 inches taller since her 2 month visit)
head circumference: 40 3/4cm.

Yesterday morning, Banks woke up so happy - excited to see Daddy - and I was dreading putting a damper on her day.  I am so thankful that Brian was in town and able to go with us to the pediatrician.  Banks was all smiles the entire time we were there, giggling and cooing...that is, until the vaccines.  Oh, how it breaks my heart to see and hear her cry.  And now the real tears flow too.  She really was a trooper and recovered pretty quickly.  I did pretty well myself...my eyes watered to the brink of tears, but I was able to keep the waterworks at bay.  The rest of the day she wasn't her happy little self and I know her chunk-a-munk thighs were hurting from the injections.  I gave her infant Tylenol, so I hope that between some medicine, Bugs Bunny band-aids and Mommy's kisses it wasn't too bad.  She slept good last night, but has still been fussy today.  I hope my happy girl returns soon!
