Finley - 4 months


Finley turned 4 months old at the beginning of April and we took her in for her 4 month check up. She is finally getting on the charts for her birth date with her weight and height, although the height is struggling. I guess she will be short like her mama and both her grandmas. She has the shortest little legs! When the nurse weighed her, and then measured her she laughed when she said "she's just short". I don't think it's anything abnormal, maybe she just seemed short to her for her actual age, which is expected. She weighed in at 12 lbs. 13 oz. and was 22 inches long. She was almost the exact height and weight at 4 months as Bryson was at 2 months. She's doing good :) Poor thing had to get 4 shots, and wasn't too happy for the 3rd and 4th. The first 2 didn't even make her flinch. Our pediatrician told us that we could start on some fruits and vegetables anywhere between 4 to 6 months, so we'll be trying that out soon. He mentioned to wait closer to 14 pounds for the rice cereal, so that'll be a little bit longer. I am slowly stopping the nursing, and adding in formula, and we're almost completely on formula now. She is getting chubby and smiling more and more at us.
