It's actually closer to a 5 month checkup since she'll be 5 months on Sunday (can you believe it?!) but we finally made it in to the Dr. (after 2 cancelled checkups for schedule conflicts). Logan is 15lbs 12oz and measures a healthy 25 inches. She's right at the 50th percentile for height and is just above the 50th percentile for weight. Perfect for her age!
We talked to the Dr. about her eating and she wants me to continue exclusively nursing until 6 months and then we'll slowly start introducing solids. She said that as long as Logan continues to gain weight and is content then we need not mess with trying to get her to eat other things too early. Ok by me. The 600 calories a day I burn doing it aren't so bad, either! ;)
Lo becomes intensely focused on things that are going on around her. TV, someone talking to her, or the dogs at my parents house. She loves to just focus in and be a part of the action. Here she is focused on Clifford.
She has also found her feet and can't keep her hands (or her mouth) off of them.
She loves to talk to people (and herself, and her stuffed horse), she can roll from her tummy to her back, she can sit up unassisted for several minutes without wobbling, and she grabs things and pulls them directly to her mouth. This definitely includes her fingers.
The result? A pretty advanced baby. The Dr. says her developmental milestones are more on track with a 6-7 month old than a 5 month old. She advised us to go ahead and lower our crib and to babyproof the house because mobility will probably show up sooner than what is normally expected. She's growing up so fast!
