4 months

On Friday Miriam turned 4 months already! Today we had her 4 month check-up. Since Joshua has recently become much more active and loud I asked Adam if he would either come along or stay with Joshua at home.. While Miriam and I were at the clinic, they did some errands, it was really nice and kinda relaxing actually just Miriam and I. The doc says she looks really good, he warned her he was the easy part while she kept smiling, kicking and moving about oh so wildly. He left, two nurses came in, gave her a drinkable vaccine plus 4 shots. She was good until they started to injecting the stuff then did she scream, after that they just needed to hurry up and get the second set in and done with and get the bandaids on so she could have her mommy! Poor girl, she was so happy too! He also said we don't need to start rice cereal for 4-6 weeks yet, that's what's recommened I guess. ANYWAY, today, at 4 months and 3 days old she weighed 13 lbs (90-95%) and was 24 1/2 inches long (off the chart), the average of her weight and her length at her age is average (50%). Her head circumference was 15 1/4 cm.
