Addison's 4 month check-up

Addison had her 4 month check up today with Dr. Machen. She weighed 13 pounds 8 ounces. (She weighed 13lbs 5oz Tuesday but she had a full diaper today.lol) She's 24 inches long and in the 49th percentile in her weight and length and 10th percentile in her head size. He said she has a pea head. :) Neurologically he said she's doing perfect and all around she's "fab-u-lous." He kept on and on commenting on how good she was doing. She kept blowing bubbles at him and grabbing for his stethoscope. She even let him put the tongue depressor in her mouth and didn't get mad. As soon as she finishes what Neocate (preemie formula) she has left then we will be going to Similac Alimentum. Then when she finishes what he gave us, we're to start regular Similac. He said she's ok on eating baby food and cereal and whatever else she wants basically. He's hoping they take the G-tube out soon too. He was surprised she still had it with how well she's been doing. Then of course he had to drop in there that she looks just like her daddy. (What am I chopped liver?!? LOL) He tried to sit her up to see how she's doing with that and he laughed because she didn't want to sit up, she wanted to stand up completely. He asked her if she thought she was older than 4 months or something. LOL That's my girl (or Daddy's girl, so he thinks.) Then the nurse came in with the shots. She had 2 shots and then had 2 medicines by mouth. I stuck the pacy in her mouth the minute the first shot went in and she didn't even make a noise. Then when the second shot went in she made a face with her eye brows and then she quit. She didn't get fussy or anything. I'm so proud! :)Needless to say I'm really excited that she's doing so much better. Now to get the g-tube out and start turning over again and crawling. Yay!

Waiting on Dr. Machen

Addison and her ring. She loves these. We had to show the doctor she can hold onto things and put them in her mouth. She definately knows how to do that.

After her shots, ready to go home.
