We had our 4 month check up yesterday. She is growing well. Still in the 75th-95th percentile for most things. She is now 24 inches long and weighing almost 14 pounds. The doctor was pretty amazed at her dexterity. She was able to pass a tongue depressor between her hands, normally kids aren't able to do that until around 6 months. And she is officially teething. We had suspected she was since she had been drooling like crazy and angling the hard part of her pacifier toward her gums.
She has also managed to "bite" down hard enough on my on my fingers to sprain it. Thanks kiddo.
The doctor also cautioned letting her suck on my shoulder or my chin as that can translate to biting other kids later on.
The only scary part was after her second injection, Callie started holding her breath. The nurse had to blow air on her face to startle her out of it. The rest of the day she actually did quite well! Much better than last time! However, at the end of the night she went ballastic. She was inconsolable. We did everything we could to calm her down. In the end it was the bath that did it. She's still been a bit out of sorts today, very needy. Getting her to nap on her own was definitely a challenge today!
