Little Pipsqueak's birthday!

To celebrate Annika's 4 month birthday, we went to the doctor! She took her shots really well....a lot better than last time! There were a few tears when the needle went in, but she handled it really well.

She also weighed in. Needless to say, she is about 1/2 of her cousin Jordan! She is very small--10 1/2 pounds. The Dr. didn't seem too concerned, she has been hitting all her milestones either early or on time; so developmentally she is where she should be. The doctor did suggest to give little Annika some more formula to supplement her mommy's milk. I am a little sad about this, but we have been supplementing for a month now, I guess we have to supplement a little more. The doctor also does NOT want us to start solids for another 2 months...he just doesn't seem too concerned about her weight (unlike her parents).

On the other hand, she has gotten taller! She is 24 inches now, up 2 1/4" from her last appointment. Evidently, she has her daddy's metabolism--lucky girl! And especially lucky she doesn't have her mommy's!

I will try to take some pictures tonight, but she is sleeping now, so I will let her be.
