Ella with her new hat on.
Ella had her four month appointment this afternoon. She weighs 14 pounds 2 ounces and is 25 inches long. The doctor said that she is in the 75th percentile for everything except her weight. She is running a little below average with her weight. He said that she gained three pounds since last time, so he isn't worried about it. She was very scared of Dr. Jeff!! She did not like him messing with her. She even screamed when he picked her up. Of course she stopped as soon as she was in her Momma's arms. Dr. Jeff said he was surprised to see her having stranger anxiety so young. Most babies don't get it until they are nine months old. Ella was happy and playing on the table when the nurse came in with her shots. She started screaming as soon as that first needle went into her little leg. I haven't seen her that mad in a long time. She was holding my hands and looking into my eyes as she cried. I felt so bad that I was the one responsible for her pain!! I cried a little too. She doesn't have to go back until July when she will be six months old. I'm just going to snuggle and love her the rest of the day today.
