Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone! Today is a very special day for MANY reasons. First, today McKenzie turns FOUR MONTHS OLD! Second, she had her 4 month well baby check up. Lastly, ONE YEAR ago today we found out we were going to be parents! Sooo...let's get on to the highlights from today's doctor's visit:
- McKenzie is 14lbs 11ounces (75%ile), 25 1/4 inches (85%ile), and her head circum is 41cm (64%ile)
- McKenzie's head has rounded out and the doctor doesn't feel she needs any physical therapy!
- Although McKenzie is spitting up a lot, she is gaining good weight and she is happy between feeds so NO MEDICINE NEEDED :-)
- McKenzie has eczema on the back of her legs...no big deal, just itchy and annoying!
- Her eyes, nose, ears, lungs, hips, and belly look great!
- She is NOT teething...even though everyone thinks she is! Dr. Bolton didn't see any teeth emerging yet.
- NO water until 6 months old...sorry Uncle Ben...
- She got 2 shots and the rotovirus drink...she certainly screamed, but did very well!
- Dr. Bolton thinks she may be waking up multiple times a night because she may be approaching a big milestone (such as rolling over), her cold is bothering her, and/or she is waking up and wondering where Mom and Dad are!!
- And....McKenzie will be starting solids tonight!!!!!!!!! She will work her way through the first foods 3 days at a time to make sure there are no allergies! We hope she embraces this new stage :-)
so exciting!
