Yesterday Kalaya had her 4 month checkup, only a couple of weeks past actually being 4 months. She did great! Soooo much better than the last few times. She was totally content while the nurse weighed and measured her. She is now 15 pounds and 1/2 an ounce. She is 25 inches long, both keep her in the 75th percentile. She is very consistent! She was also very content to sit on Daddy's lap while Dr. Wu examined her. She only fussed for a little bit when he used the tongue depressor to look at what we thought may be a tooth. Turns out it is just cartilage and her gums will eventually grow over it, so she is not getting teeth right now, which is fine! Dr. Wu said she looked great! We absolutely love Dr. Wu, so much so that we are driving from Washington all the way back to Tualatin for appointments. He is so supportive of everything associated with attachment parenting; having a family bed, not letting her cry it out, etc. We talked a little bit about starting solid foods, but he said it wasn't necessary yet. We'll chat more about it at her 6 month appointment and then get that going. Still just breast milk for Kalaya! It's obviously nourishing her just fine!
The only challenge, obviously, was the vaccinations. Only 1 more appointment with 3 shots, thank goodness! At least it was over quickly, some screams, sobs and then right to the breast. She did so well. And, I did better this time too! : )
