Just a quick update from Cassidy's 4 month check-up which was yesterday. Let me start by saying those darn percentile charts are confusing and I gave misinformation to everyone yesterday who I spoke to about her appt. Apparently her weight was only in the 5th percentile based on babies her length. Here are the real facts.
One week shy of her 4th month her stats are
Weight: 12 pounds 15 ounces (she is in the 50th percentile for weight)
Length: 25.5 inches long (she is in the 95th percentile for length) (up from 75th percentile last appt.)
So far it looks like she's taking after her daddy, which is fine with us. The doctor thought she was perfect and in fact commented on how perfect her head was on several occasions. She was amazed at how round it was and she thought we were rotating how she sleeps. Nope, she does that all on her own. The doctor said to just keep doing what we're doing because she looks great and she said cereal is fine so we'll continue with cereal (next week upping it to twice a day). Next month she wants us to introduce yellow vegetables as well.
Cassidy was her usual self at the appointment (very serious). The doctor kept trying to get her to smile and finally told her she'd need to lighten up and that her face would wrinkle like that if she kept furrowing her brow. (hmm I've heard that line before about myself). She's very serious and even keel.
Next week we'll update with her 4 month picture!
