4 Month Doctors Appointment

Ella had her 4-month doctor's appointment on Friday, including 4 vaccinces, 3 in her chunky little thighs!

She has grown a lot since her last appointment, she was 24 3/4 inches (2 3/4 inches in just 2 months) - that puts her at 70th percentile for height (maybe we have a little b-ball player on our hands?) and she weighs 13 lbs, which is 45th percentile. Her head is also 45th percentile - wonder why it looks so much bigger when she is wearing a hat??

Unfortunately she had a pretty bad reaction to the vaccines and was unhappy most of the weekend. She was fussy most of Friday afternoon/night but then started wailing around 7:30 pm until I finally got her down around 8:30 pm but she woke up during the night and has been waking up every night since then. She had her first fever Saturday night (a normal reaction to the vaccines but still upsetting) and was just general not happy this weekend. Poor little girl. She's been in much better spirits the past few days but is still waking up during the night. Oh well - she is happy and healthy and that's what matters.
