4 Month Check-Up

Just a quick update. Brooklyn had her 4 month well visit with Dr. Ferreris on January 8th. He was so excited to see her!! ...and she was so happy the entire visit!! He said she looked great! She weighed 11lbs 12oz...her pediatrician has decided that she is just not going to be fat because she doesn't come from a fat family (oh, if he only knew...lol). So her weight is still in the 10-25%, but looks good because she has continued to go up on her weight curve (no dips!). Her height was a whopping 24.5" and in the 50%. She was also tortured again with shots...but she is such a trooper she did great!! Hardly fussed at all...and just had a bit of a fever later that day.

Recently, over the past week, Brooks and I have been working really hard to establish a bedtime routine for Brooklyn. Brooks has started bathing her, giving her a massage and reading her a book each night...and then I feed her. We try to start this anywhere between 7:30-8:30 and then are aiming to get her down each night around 9. So far she is doing great!! We are hoping over time she will start to associate the baths and books with bedtime...we shall see. Some nights we are lucky and she will put herself to sleep and other nights she needs to be rocked or nursed to sleep.

The cutest outfit ensemble ever from Aunt Teri for Christmas!!! I can't wait until she is big enough to have her picture taken in it!!

On a side note...today is Grandma K's birthday!! She was so gracious to spend the night with us last night since Daddy went hunting! So we are getting to spend her birthday with her! Tonigth we will go celebrate! Also, did I say that I think I broke my right pinky toe?? On the bouncer no less. Now I understand why Melissa got rid of theirs...although Brooklyn is still enjoying hers. At least it's my right toe this time....two years ago I broke my left pinky toe. Fun times.
