4 Month Well Visit

Shawn took Emily in to see Dr. G for her 4 month well visit this morning.  Everything looked good!  Here are her stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 15 oz (25%)
Height: 23.8 in (50%)
Head: 15.25 in (25%)

So we've got a tall skinny girl on our hands.  I always worry that she's not eating enough, but he just said she's a small girl and since she's been sick lately, not to worry.  He did say we can start rice cereal anytime over the next 2 months.  He said that may help her acid reflux, so we may try that sooner rather than later.  He recommended we keep her on the special formula until she's 6 months or so.  Then maybe we can try and wean her to a GentleEase formula.  As far as her cold, he said as long as she seems to be getting better, which she does, then not to worry.  And he did confirm my suspicions, she does have eczema. So we will just continue to slather her in Aveeno and Aquaphor.

Shawn said she was such a good girl at the dr, unlike last visit when she screamed the whole time!  He said she was just full of smiles.  She did cry for a minute during her shots, but was back to her happy self shortly after.
