All's Well at the Well Check

Today Waverly had an appointment at the pediatrician's office for her 4-month-old well check. We were all really anxious to learn how our little girl is doing. She received a perfect report!

Lauging at my nurse!

Our chunky monkey weighed in at 16 pounds, 2 ounces! She's in the 90th percentile in regards to weight and Dr. Chase was really happy about it. She is 23 5/8 inches long and her head measures 16 1/2 inches around. She is right on track!

Playing hard while Mommy talks to the doctor.

Dr. Chase was wonderful. He examined Waverly and announced that all is well. We talked about her feeding and sleep schedules, her stuffy nose and development milestones. Dr. Chase advised that we only give Waverly a little bit of cereal mixed with her milk, especially since she still spits up often. We can start giving her up to 3 ounces of nursury water a day, though, which is great because I often think she is thirsty instead of hungry. Her stuffy nose isn't any better with the Clarinex previously prescribed, so we are no longer giving that medication and will be using some nose spray. Waverly is rolling over and sleeping through the night, so Dr. Chase was happy about that. Waverly was pronounced perfect!

Up next were those nasty shots again. This time, Mommy was better prepared for what we were getting into. Waverly had a little dose of infant (generic) tylenol before going in to the office. She was a big girl during her two shots (DTaP and Polio, Hib, and Prevnar), one in each thigh, and then she drank her Rotavirus shot. After just a second of being fussy, she was my happy girl full of smiles again.

Waverly's Snoopy Band-Aids

Waverly took a little nap and then was mostly in a good mood the rest of the evening. She had another dose of tylenol and a warm bath. We also did lots of exercises for those chubby legs, just to work the knots out where the shots were given. She was a real trooper all day!

Fresh and Clean
