• Wear a size 2 diaper.
• Splash in the tub.
• Entertain yourself for about 20 - 30 minutes while we get everything else taken care of, thank you so much!
• Had your first bout with sickness, just a slight fever, runny nose, and cough.
• Flail your arms and legs, we have to watch out or we might get whacked!
• Reach out and grab for things and pull them toward you, like Turner, Mom's nose, Grandpa's eyebrows, and so much more.

4 Month Stats

We visited the doctor on Monday for her 4 month well check-up. Maddie weighs in at 15.5 lbs and is 25 inches long. What a growing girl! She received 2 shots and one oral vaccine. Our girl sure was stubborn. She would NOT swallow the oral vaccine, she held it all in her cheeks, even with me blowing in her face! The nurse said that she had never seen a baby hold out as long as Madeline did, but that's our girl. She did better with the shots this time around, she ignored the first one, but screamed on the second one because it is the one that burns. I hate that it hurts her, but I know it will only help her later.

She was deemed absolutely perfect and we shouldn't need to go back until March 30th for her 6 month check up.
