We took Tessa for her 4 month check up (we are a few weeks late) today and she is doing very well! For length she is in the 73rd percentile (weighing in at 16 lbs 4 ounces)and for weight she in the 82nd percentile (measuring 25 1/2 inches). Her head circumference is 16.7 inches which puts her in the 75th percentile. She is pretty average in size I guess, which is good because I was worried she was over weight ;) The doctor laughed when he saw her chubby little thighs and said not to worry about her spit up problem because she obviously not starving. He did say we can try cereal but not to be surprised if she isn't ready because babies have a reflex in their tongue that makes them push everything out of their mouth until they get a little closer to 6 months. He told me to possibly add some vereal to her bottles to help her not spit up so much and to burp her more often. Its hard to believe that this little girl has been in our lives for almost 5 months. She is such a blessing and a joy!
