4 month doctor's appointment

Nina had her 4 month doctor's appointment last Friday. She is now 13 pounds 6 ounces and 24 inches long. She's close to three times her birth weight already! She did really well....the doctor was very happy to hear she is sleeping through the night on her own and commented on her great neck control. I told her Nina likes to stand up and the doctor said most babies don't bear weight on their legs until 5 or 6 months. I am so proud at how well she is developing. She will be able to start solids at 5 months but the doctor said to try to wait until 6 months. We'll see how it goes...it seems she is already ready for real food since she always stares at everything we eat nowadays and constantly chews on her tongue. She is so curious about food - big surprise considering who her parents are! haha

She had 2 shots dTap and polio. She did well but then later that night she came down with her first fever - 101.5. We were worried sick and she was fussy. We gave her baby tylenol and she was fine by Sunday night. Saturday night we had to walk her around in her stroller at 1 am to get her to sleep. She is back on track now thankfully and doing great! Here's a pic of her with her daddy ready to go for a walk with frankie.
