We Survived the Shots!

Well, we survived Elizabeth's 4 month check up on Friday morning. She got her shots *again*, and of course, she cried and I cried *again*. (Not as bad as I did the first time. The first set of shots at her 2 month appointment, I think they hurt me more than they hurt her. This time around, it was just a few tears on my part,and then I grabbed her off the table after the last shot was given, and we both felt MUCH MUCH better!). I rewarded her with a *cheeseburger* (I fed her!) after the nurse left, and a shopping trip to Madison on Saturday! Sounds like she got a pretty good deal!
Before I get too far off subject, I should probably tell you that Miss E weighed in at 17lbs 3oz and is 25 inches long. She is at the 90th percentile for her height and 97th percentile for her weight! The doctor commented that it looks as if she is eating "plenty"! LOL! I think he was just trying to be "be nice" and not say "WHOA! Look at the leg rolls on that girl!" I think he knew better b/c we warned him that she gets upset when people talk about her weight (and age!). He told us that we can introduce some rice cereal to her diet if we want...once again, stating that she looks as if she is doing JUST FINE on breast milk! I still haven't decided yet when/if I will giver her any cereal quite yet, but, we have some on hand if I decide to any day soon. We'll see how her eating habits go for this week (last week she seemed to eat alot more than usual, so I dont know if she is going through a growth spurt, or just needing to be fed bigger bottles b/c she is just hungrier). Anyways...we'll see if I can or can't keep up with her demand and then we'll go from there. Ideally, I'd like to wait until 6+ months before introducing anything else. There are alot of things I would like to "wait for" but only time will tell. We continued to give her tylenol a few hours after her appointment, as well as before bed, b/c I am sure her chubby lil' legs were going to be sore. She didnt fuss much, if at all, Friday afternoon/night. She did take a super long nap once we got home though. Once again, she took a much longer nap than what I was used to. It worked out for everyone...I was able to sneak a little nap in myself, as well as get SOME housework done! I am sure I also created more mess than what I wanted as well! Ahhh...that just means there is more for me to do if/when she takes another "long nap" in the near future!
