My “little” Carissa Marie is 15 lbs., 4 ozs., now and 25-3/4 inches long. . . still falling in the 75th+ percentile for weight and 85-88% in height.
She did great for her shots. She cried literally 3 seconds after the second needle–only till I lifted her to my shoulder.
This, after all, is the baby who smiles when you aspirate her nose. You have to wonder about a kid like that!
I’m so very grateful! Especially after Micah–what a screamer! Hours of screaming each night for the first 4 months–with strangers (well-meaning, I suppose) telling me how they would never “let” a child cry that way. . . What a relief to have such a very happy child!
“I find that, typically, the personality that you see at four months is the personality you’re going to see through the teen years,” the pediatrician remarked. “Not always. But typically. If you have a really picky, easily irritated four-month-old, you’ll probably see a particular teenager. If you have a easygoing, happy four month old, you’ll probably have a teenager like that too.”
I’m sure that’s a generalization, but hey, I’d love to have a happy, easygoing teenage girl!
I’m SO. VERY. Grateful for this little girl!
🙂
