4 month Baby Wellness Exam and Vaccinations

Hi Isabelle,

We went in to see Dr. Scott for your 4 month baby wellness exam and vaccinations today. You weigh 12 lbs 7 ozs (27%), your height is 25.5 inches (92%) and your head circumference is 16 inches (48%). Dr. Scott said that you are on the skinny side but he's not surprised because Mommy is also skinny. Mommy thinks you have the same high metabolism that I have. You are growing so tall! No wonder Mommy was wondering how come you fit in your 6 month old onesies length-wise. We need to find a brand of onesies that are made on the longer-side since you are growing so long! Daddy hopes you will grow up to be at least 5'9".

You got your second set of shots...yikes. Again, it was 3 owies and 1 oral vaccine. Mommy couldn't bear to watch but you were a brave girl. You took the oral vaccine like a champ, even chatting with the nurse while swallowing. How many times does Mommy have to tell you not to talk with your mouth full?? You do it when nursing too. Then when she gave you your shots, you howled but only for about 2 mins. Daddy picked you up and you were comforted.

No fever again this time around but you were super fussy. You didn't want to take ANY naps by yourself and so Mommy had to put you in the sling again. You were so tired by the end of the day, you fell asleep at 8 p.m. instead of your normal 9 p.m. bedtime.

Hopefully tomorrow is a better day!

Love, Mom
