4 Month Pediatrician Visit

Cyanne had her 4 months wellness visit yesterday with the Pediatrician.
Here are the most recent stats:

Weight: 13 lb, 14 oz.
Height: 24 1/4"
Head: 41 3/4

Cyanne did well during the entire visit. She was a trooper.
She was sporting the toga look for a while as she was naked and just had a yellow blanket (anne - the yellow one you sent with the turquoise stitching...) wrapped around her very Greek-like. =)

Anyway, we peppered the ped. with questions about her fussiness and strong dislike of the bottle... He didn't have any real suggestions or answers but basically said she'd grow out of it and if she fought the bottle over and over, eventually hunger and thirst would win out and she'd cave.
So, we shall see. He also said we could start solids but it is a little earlier than I wanted to do it but depending on how she does these next few weeks, Cyanne may just be eating some rice/oatmeal cereal...! Perhaps she's just not a fan of the bottle and will prefer a spoon.

She got her 2nd round of shots - and boy, was she a good sport! She didn't even cry for the 1st three... apparently the last one really stings - so that's when we got the shocked face, red cheeks, and loud cry. Poor girl... She also did really well taking down the Tylenol and rotavirus (which apparently is super bitter) in a dropper.
She did very well!
And as Tom likes to point out, I am more stressed out/worried about it/upset by it than she...

The ped. was very pleased w/her growth - she's now in the 50% for both height and weight.
Way to catch up after being a premie Cyanne! =)
She grew over 3 inches in 2 months! No wonder the clothes we've been having her wear are all seeming too short!

Tom and I then, deciding to capitalize on her drowsiness/vaccination hangover - decided to go out to dinner, thinking she'd sleep the meal away.
We went to our standby - The Beachside - and she did pretty well. About half way through - when we happened to be talking about her - we heard this weak cry... So she then joined us for the rest of dinner, which was okay. She got tons of compliments when we were changing in the bathroom - she was cooed, smiled, and poked at by numerous ladies. I, of course, had her in the most gender-neutral outfit possible so she got a lot of "wow, he? she? is soooo cute!"...
I felt bad though - this one lady came up and smiled at her and said " you are just the cutest baby!!!" and Cyanne looked at her and immediately started to cry. The woman quickly turned and left!

So... that was our exciting day yesterday.
The next appt. is set for April 11th! It seems so far away but then again, I remember thinking that February 1st seemed quite far in the future as well.

Will post more photos soon! I have them - they just need to be uploaded.
Stay tuned for most photos!
