Four Month Appointment and More!

Munchkin had her four month appointment on Monday. We weighs 12.9 oz. (25th percentile), 24” long (50th percentile), and her head circumference is 41.1 cm. (50th percentile). Still a little long and lean but all in all very little. Her pediatrician said it was just fine though and she is within normal range. He said we could start solids anytime now. He mentioned it could help with her reflux. Not necessarily looking forward to that stage so I haven’t started yet. I lie, we did try rice cereal a couple nights ago. We literally couldn’t get it in her mouth. Guess she isn’t ready. Her reflux is still pretty bad – doc did up her Zantac prescription and it has helped.

Today Kenleigh woke up from what is normally a three hour nap after only 30 minutes and started screaming. It was a cry of pain I just couldn’t pin point her pain. She cried literally non-stop for an hour and a half…we both cried for some of it. I knew she wasn’t hungry, her diaper was changed, she was tired but she’s never had a problem falling asleep even if I don’t stay on top of the nap. It was a cry to tell me she was in some sort of pain. At least that’s what it seemed like. My heart broke the entire time; I cried with her because I didn’t know how to make her better and that killed me. My sister Cori mentioned she thought KMae might be teething. I don’t see anything at all. I always thought 4 months was a little early. She doesn’t have swollen gums or anything. She does have a few other symptoms but who knows. So taking Cori’s advice I gave KMae some origel. She stopped crying within seconds and continued her 3 hour nap. So sad. I’m not sure if she is teething or not but I certainly hate thinking she’s in pain.

The picture below is for my dad. It’s her 3 month appointment after she got her shots. The nurse gave her a hot pink camo band-aid! I knew dad would love it. The last pictures are some porcelain shoes my really good friend Sue made for Kenleigh. They have her name, birth date, and birth stats on them. They are in the color of her nursery. Sooooo freaking adorable! The rest are just some cute pictures!

Pink Camo Band-aid! I can't imagine her any cuter! Loves getting baths Liker her daddy, turns blue when she's cold! AMAZING!!!
