4 month check-up

I was a little nervous about taking Aubri to the pediatrician for her 4 month check up since we have had a few confirmed cases of the swine flu here in Fort Worth. However, once I arrived at the pediatrician's office, I was pleased to see that anyone who is feeling any flu-like symptoms are quarantined so that they will not contaminate the waiting room. Also, at the check-in desk they had hand sanitizer for me to use as well as wipes they used to clean the desk in between each patient/patient's parent. So, this overprotective parent was able to rest easy.

I know I have mentioned this before, but I must say it again... I LOVE going to the doctor's office! Of course, I don't like seeing Aubri get shots (this time was harder for me than the last time...it just breaks my heart!!). But, I love to talk about Aubri and so does Dr. Crawford, so we just sit and chat it up about this sweet lil' thing!

Aubri's doctor says that she is growing just as she should be and that we get to start rice cereal as soon as we feel that Aubri is ready for it. (Did you hear that Papa T? Rice Cereal! I knew you would be excited!) She watched Aubri's movements and tested her ability to hold her head up. She thinks that Aubri is very close to rolling over. YEA! That will be a fun milestone!

Here's a few pictures of Aubri waiting for Dr. Crawford to come in for her checkup. I couldn't decide which one to post, so you get to see them all.



She weighs a whoppin' 12 lbs. 6 oz. and she is 24 3/4 inches long.

Now that Aubri is 4 months old I thought I would share a little bit of what she has been up to!
-She is "talking" ALL the time.
-She has her hands in her mouth almost constantly!
-She has found her feet and has started pulling off her socks.
-She loves to make spit bubbles.
-She still hates tummy time.
-She thinks the sound of toots are funny. (Not real ones, but the ones you make with your mouth.- I have a video of this on my phone, I am trying to figure out how to upload it.)
-She is sleeping about 11 hours every night! WOO HOO!
-She eats about every 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
-She is down to only 3 naps a day!
-She has graduated to size 2 diapers!
