4 month check-up

Hello Family & Friends,

Yesterday it was Addie's 4 month check-up. Everything was well. She's gaining weight and growing like a weed. Her latest weight is 14lbs 8.5oz & 25 3/8th inches long so that puts her in the 75th to 90th percentile. She's doing really well.

The only thing that we're a little concerned with is her eczema. Unfortunately it's a hereditary...one more thing she's gotten from her Mommy. Hopefully she won't have the super sensitive skin that I have too. Her eczema flared up pretty bad because of the recent heat wave that we had. I think 97 & 102 degree weather would make anyone sweat too much. The doctor gave us a script for a mild steroid to use to help calm her skin and help it repair faster. I just hope that it does the trick and she gets her soft & smooth baby skin back.

Addie got another round of shots. It was close to her nap time so she was more upset that she had to lay on the table than she was getting her shots. As soon as her shots were over, I picked her up and she stopped crying promptly. Maybe she'll get a little better with each visit with her shots.

The last bit of news is that the doctor gave us the all clear to start her on solid foods!! Within the month I plan on starting her on some cereal. I can't wait for her to start eating all kinds of food. I fully plan on feeding her what we're eating. Plus she's already used to my diet. To go from a wide variety of flavors to boring cereal and single flavors doesn't sound all that appealing. Babies can learn to be adventurous with their taste buds!!

Hope you all have a wonderful evening & can enjoy the beautiful summer weather.
Until next time,
Love Tiff, Trav & Addie
