Emmelyn had her 4-month checkup with Dr. Morgan and she surprised us as we thought she was going to be a giant. She weighed in at 14 pounds, 8 ounces and is in th 60th percentile for weight (pretty average, after all). She is, however, perhaps going to be tall like her dad. Her length is close to 26 inches, which puts her in the 75th percentile for height.
She also got more shots and did NOT enjoy it. She screamed, her entire face got red she was so bad, and she balled her little hands up into fists. She was better a short time later, but was fussy for Joe all day. (He is off with her all day on Mondays).
Dr. Morgan reports that Emmelyn is a healthy girl who is devleoping right on track. We were mildly concerned that Emmelyn isn't regularly rolling over. She rolls onto her side and then doesn't seem interested in doing much else. Dr. Morgan says rolling onto her side does constitute "rolling over" and that some babies delay rolling onto their tummies simply because they do not like it. (Em hates tummy time, so this could be the case with her). She gave the doctor a big smile, so she showed off her social development. We got back for her 6-month appointment on Valentine's Day, provided ear infections or colds don't bring us back sooner.
