Today, was Josie's 4 month doctors appointment. Can you believe that? She turned 4-months old on January 2nd, but this was the first available appointment that they had. I had to venture to the doctors with Josie on my own. Brent had to work today, so he could not go. I usually make the appointment on one of his days off, but this time since I made it in November I did not have his 2008 work schedule. That is ok. I survived. Josie survived. She was due for her 4-month shots. As all of you know, I hate shots. So it killed me yet again today, but not as bad because Josie did very well. She only cried well more like whined for about 30 seconds while they gave it to her and that was all. I made her look at me and overall it went well. Seconds after the nurse with the huge needles. Well, they were not huge more like tiny left Josie was smiling at me. She kept kicking her legs and moving to make the paper on the table crinkle. I think she liked the sound that it made when she moved.
Well, anyways here are the results that everyone has been wanting. Here are her stats:
Weight - 12 pounds 7 ounces - 19%-tile (she is tiny for her age)
Height - 24 1/4 inches - 42%-tile
Head - 38.2 cm - .73%-tile (yes, that is right .73%. That means her head is not even in the 1%-tile. All the other babies her age has a bigger head than her. She has a tiny melon for a head. It is nothing to be concerned about. She is just tiny overall. I too have a small head. When I go to the eye doctors for glasses or shopping for a hat, I have to buy youth sizes. Adults are just way to big. I guess overall she takes after me.)
Now, we will not go back to the doctor until March 11th for her 6 month appointment.
