4 months

We had our four month visit to the doctor this week.  Bridget did very well.  She did extremely well. The doctor told me to keep up the nursing as long as we can.  Bridget weighed in at 14 lbs 1oz - this is 70th percentile for her age and her length is 25.5% - this is 90th percentile.  Her head measured 16 inches- which is 50th percentile.  We always knew that she didn't have a big head.  So, we now know for sure that we have a future basketball star or swimmer on our hands.  

Surprisingly, she handled the shots really well.  She had two shots and I handled it better than in the past too.  I tried to distract her by playing with her before the shot.  Bridget let the doctor examine her with no problem and when he was looking in her ears, she was holding his fingers, it was very sweet.  The doctor mentioned that at age 6-9 months, she will begin to have stranger fear.  Oh well, for now she is very friendly toward our friends and co workers that she meets.

One funny thing happened, across the hall from our exam room was a mom and her son Jackson that we know from yoga.  He is about one month older than Bridget.
