Anna had her 4 month checkup today. She is growing pretty well--she weighs 13 lbs 11 oz and is 25 inches long. This puts her in the 45% for weight and 72% for length. This is actually a big drop from where she was (83% in weight and 95% for length at 2 months), which confirms to me that she may really need a bottle of formula each day to supplement her feedings. Because of her allergic reaction to the formula the other week, the doctor gave me a special kind of formula to try that's made for babies with milk allergies. Hopefully she'll take it (she refused to drink any today) and it will provide the extra calories she needs. We'll just have to wait until she's a little bigger to determine if she really does have a milk allergy or not. Until then, we'll act like she does just to be on the safe side. Otherwise, she's a happy and healthy girl and we couldn't love this sweet little baby any more.
She wants to sit up and see what's going on these days. If I put her in the bouncy seat or swing, she can basically sit herself all the way up and I'm worried she's going to fall over in them. So today we tried the exersaucer and she loved it. Catherine and Will thought it was great to have her in there too.
