4 month check up

I can't believe Kate is 4 months old already. I had been looking forward to the Dr's visit because Kate has only been to the Dr. for her well baby visits so she hadn't been weighed since her 2 month visit.

Here were her stats...

Weight 14 lbs 4.5 oz - 65% percentile
Height 24 inches- 50% percentile
Head 14.5 inches- 20% percentile

So basically she is average height, a little chubby with a small head. The Dr. assured me that the head size has nothing to do with intelligence, but I do hope her head starts growing!!

Dr. G also diagnosed her with eczema which I kind of already knew. And we changed a few things and I'm already seeing a huge improvement.

This week I had a wake-up call about some of the products I was using. It's so weird to me that the products that are marketed toward babies are actually not good for them! Johnsons & Johnsons lotion, soap and shampoo is like a go to shower gift but when I read an article this weekend they actually have chemicals that can be cancer-causing!! The things they are putting in products not only can cause eczema but much worse! Here is the article if you want to check it out...

Anyways everything else went well at Kate's appointment and the Dr was impressed with her awareness, tracking skills and strength. Kate is constantly doing sit ups, we all say she is going to have abs of steel! She loves to sit up and look at the world around her, hopefully she'll be able to do it on her own soon!

No pictures today but I promise more soon!!
