the slobber machine is... on.
As nasty as it sounds, its so true. We went to the doctor for the 4 month check up (10 days late because we changed doctors). The new doctor couldn't have said it better than..."there is something about the 4th month, the slobber machine just turns itself on." Grace Anne lives up to that statute for sure!
She weighted in at a whooping 12 lbs and 7 oz.! She is now in the 19th percentile for weight. She measured 24 inches long (which is good news for her owl outfit from Kristen because it fits--length wise atleast!) and that made for 32nd percentile for length. Basically, she is still our little runt! But, she is really growing in our eyes! And the picture above looks like she has a double chin... promise she doesn't at all!
The doctor had nothing but good news and wonderful report on the health of the little one. She handled the toe prick with smiles and giggles, but the 3 shots weren't as smooth. The first shot brought on a quivering lip and by the second one she was all out screaming and balling her eyes out. Luckily the nurse was quick and she was safe in Mommy's arms within minutes. She calmed down quickly and was asleep by the time we got to the car. She hasn't had a fever (we dosed up on Tylenol beforehand this go 'round), but she has been a little grumpy. The picture below shows her little band-aids. The one on her toe came off ASAP since she puts her feet in her mouth so much-- we don't want any late night visits to the ER!

The picture below shows her trying to scoot. I'm going to try to upload a video of her scooting and grunting!
