Valerie the Valiant
She got three shots this morning! Poor little thing. She’s cranky as hell now, but the Tylenol is helping. Of course, she’s got those first four teeth that look like they’ll come in Any Minute Now which means they’ll take weeks more--they always do--so we’ve been having our share of random crankiness, too. Though that’s not all that random, is it? LOL.
Anyhow, I took her for her 4 month visit this morning and it’s not my imagination, the girl is getting long and skinny on me. She’s climbing the height chart and falling down the weight chart. 24 and 3/4 inches long and 12 pounds, 5 and 1/2 ounces. I don’t know why I’m surprised...Sadie was bigger at this age, but is built pretty much the same way. Both of our families have plenty of tall lean people, so it’s not like we can’t account for them without wondering about an alien invasion or something. Our doc isn’t bothered any by it, bless him.
I can’t wait to feed her “real food” though. She’s started grabbing for ours, so we gave her a bite or two of applesauce and she pushed it right back out. Give her a couple of weeks and she’ll no doubt be ready to go.
She scoots now like an old pro, and has taken to getting up on her knees and elbows and rocking. The girl wants to locomote yesterday. She’s the smiling-est baby I’ve ever seen, and she thoroughly charmed everybody she met today. Especially after the shots, when she had those big sad eyes to go with her smile.
dosen’t it hurt you when they get shots? I
remember it well.Posted by on 06/27 at 07:17 PM
