Well, it was time for Elena's 4 month appointment today, which meant more shots. Elena was a trooper, though. She screamed like a banshee when Dr. Garb looked in her ears, of course. And when she got the shots. But she calmed down pretty quickly, and this evening she's just been a little crankier and a little sleepier than normal. And now we get all of the new stats! :) So, Elena is weighing in today at....12 lbs, 14.5 oz
23 3/8 inches tall
16 1/4 inches (head circumference)
So, she's not really short and stocky anymore... now she's short and skinny, with a big head! :) She's in the 25th percentile for length, the 30th for weight, and the 60th for head circumference! :) So, obviously she's taking after her father!
Anyway, Dr. Garb said she looked really good. He said we should start giving her oatmeal or barley cereal because it won't constipate her as much. And in a couple of weeks (when she's 5 months) we can start giving her yellow veggies, and then at 6 months we can start giving her fruits. Hard to believe how fast she is growing up! :)
