I'm growing!

We had Kay's 4 month doctor appointment today. She seemed to do a little better with the shots this time. They did not give her the one she reacted to so badly last time. Instead of one combined shot, she received three separate ones. Her iron levels in her blood are where they should be now. This is great news because now she won't have to take extra iron. The doctor wants her to wait on rice cereal for another 4-6 weeks for her adjusted age.

Kay now weighs 11 pounds 9 oz, 24.5 inches long, and a head circumference of 40 cm. She is 10% in weight, 50% in height, and 20% in head! She is really starting to catch up on her size now. Our doctor referred us to a physical therapist group to have Kay evaluated for her head control. She is right on track for being six weeks younger, but the doctor wants to see if a physical therapist could help get her in line with her other 4 month old friends. We will see what they have to say on Thursday.

We hung out with our friends Anna, AW, Shane, Cheri and Addaline this weekend. Addaline was born at 30 weeks premature in February so she and Kay are "glow worm" buddies. They both had to go through similar treatments in the hospital. We had a great time and Anna and AW were excellent hosts. We were pretty limited on what activities we could do with two little ones. We did all go out to eat on Saturday and then to a brewery tour. The girls were so cute. They just looked at each other and babbled back and forth some. Kay did most of the "talking" and Addaline tried to teach Kay how to roll over. There were a few "conversations" back and forth through crying at about 1 am each night.
