Waiting for the Doctor to come in
Today, we went to Jaela's 4 month check up. Things went really well-she weighs 13lbs, 11 oz, is 24 1/2 inches and her head size is 16 in-she ranks in the 50th percentile in all categories. The doctor said that she can now start taking some cereal by spoon, so we will be posting more about that later. The only bad part about the visit was that she had to get 2 shots. The poor girl didn't even know what was coming. She was super smiley and cooing, then all of the sudden she realized that something hurt. I think seeing her look at me with those big eyes that seem to ask "why did you do this to me?" is harder on me than it was her. The cry only lasted for a minute, but my heart hurt for her longer than that. There is nothing like seeing that pouty lip with crocodile tears and hearing those hurtful cries coming from your daughter. The vision remains etched in your brain.
Anyways, we were so thankful to hear that our little girl is healthy and and doing well. The congestion from earlier seems all cleared up, and she is well on her way to become an active little girl. We go back in 2 more months, and that will be here before we know it.

Notice the 2 bandaids on her legs from getting shots.
