Four Months (and Four Days) Old

Adelaida is now four months old (or more precisely, four months and four days old) and to celebrate, she saw the doctor today. She sat on Dale's lap while the doctor asked us questions and seemed quite interested in what we were saying. She loved the physical exam (she got to taste the stethoscope, the doctor's fingers, and the flashlight) and tolerated her first shot quite well--her eyes opened a little wider, but she continued playing with her toy and wasn't at all phased by the shot.

Then came the second shot, and she screamed.

I wanted to grab her and run her out of the room and leave that awful doctor's office right then, but had to wait until the third shot was done. Adelaida cried (really cried, like she hasn't cried ever before) for about a minute, then put her thumb in her mouth and calmed down. The shots were about four hours ago, and she has definitely been fussy ever since.

Other than the vaccinations, the doctor's visit was a good one. Adelaida is healthy and sits on the 25th percentile for weight (5.75 kg; 12 lb, 10 oz) and about the 15th percentile for height (59 cm; 23 inches). She isn't big, but she's healthy!
