Visit to the Doctor

Daphne had her four-month check-up yesterday. She is doing great. She is developmentally right on target and even doing some things that a five month old would do. The pediatrician also said that she was a very curious baby. I could have told her that! Daphne is still in the 97th percentile for weight and height. Yes, she is a big baby! There doesn't seem to be a lot of concern about this right now. Once she starts crawling she will slim down. No need to give her a complex about it . Her pediatrician made it clear that babies should never be put on a diet, but they will keep eating when they are full. So, we just need to watch for when she looks like she is done eating.

Daphne also got her second set of shots. She was so happy right before the nurses gave her the shots. She was flirting and smiling at them and then wham she got it right in the legs. This is always very heartbreaking for me, but she only screamed for a few minutes and then fell asleep for the rest of the evening.
