4 Month Update

Leighton had her 4-month well visit on Friday (2/19) and all went well. We met a new doctor, Dr. Hong, and she was really wonderful. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to meet with her again because she is one of my favorites so far at the practice.

Little Miss L weighed in at 13 lbs 1 ounce and has grown a little taller to 24 1/2 inches long. She's in the 25th-50th percentile in height and weight. However, she must have inherited the big head from my dad because her head circumference is 16 3/4 which is in the 75th-90th percentile!

The doctor commented on how great her tone and head control were and she was impressed with L's ability to roll from front to back and back to front. L also showed off her new talking/babbling and raspberry blowing skills for Dr. Hong. She apparently is doing extremely well and is progressing as normal, so we are very happy!

The only sort of sad news is that she would like L going to bed earlier at night versus her 9:30/10 pm bedtime because she is such a good sleeper. She wants her to get a solid 12 hrs a night, so unfortunately we will get less time with her during the week since we don't get home until 6:30 pm and she eats right about then. So...bedtime will be at 7 pm or so. Bummer for us, but good in the long run for L.

Other than that, her shots seemed to not bother her as much as getting her head circumference measured (have no idea why that set her off), so we won't be going back until her 6 month well visit at the end of April.

We've got tons of new pics and videos that Mike will be posting soon and we'll continue to keep everyone updated on what L and the rest of us are up to over the next few months :)

Hugs and Kisses!
