On Monday, Allison turned four months old. Turning four months old of course means a well-baby appointment which we had today. Our appointment was at 2:15 which is nap time (not good planning on my part.) She did good during the first part of her appointment, however when I tried laying her on the table she had a meltdown. She was a basketcase even before the nurses came in for the shots. She was crying so hard already, that I don't think she even noticed that she got them. We didn't see her flinch or show any additional reaction (to her already bawling.) She must have created a commotion because the nurses at the front desk asked Brian on our way out if that was Allison doing all the crying.
Good news is that she is a healthy baby. She weighed in at 13.5 lbs and measured 24 inches. Her head is 41 cm. She has been tugging at her ear but it looks fine; the Dr. thinks she just happened to discover her ear and is checking it out. There are some signs that teeth are forming, however it still could be a while before they make their appearance. We expected her to sleep the rest of the day as that is what she did after her first set of shots. However she is still hanging in there at 6:20 pm. I think mom is looking forward to bedtime more than Allison is.
