Catie's 4 month check up

Catie had her 4 month check up a couple of weeks ago.  She is 13 lbs, 1 oz (16%) and 24 1/2 inches (30%)...over 2 feet!!  Obviously she hasn't grown much, less than 1 lb and 1/2 inch in 2 months.  The doctors is mostly concerned that Catie hasn't gained much weight and wants us to start giving her formula.  Catie has done well taking a bottle.  My friend gave me a bunch of bottles when she moved that Catie really likes.  I'm glad we didn't have a lot of trial and error like some of my friends when they have had to give their kids bottles!  I have another friend whose mom works at our OB's office and she can get me formula samples, so hopefully we won't have to spend too much money on formula!

Catie is still acting older than her age, more like a 6 month old than a 4 month old.  She once again impressed the doctor holding her head up and not having any head lag when she is pulled into a seated position from laying down.  She's found her hands, feet and tongue and reaches for toys.  She's also talking and giggling...I love it!!  And Robbie loves making her giggle, too.

We have given Catie some cereal.  It's hit or miss, though when she wants to eat it, she gobbles it up!

Yum!

What is this again?

Yes, I do think I'll have some more!

Oops!  Let me wipe my mouth!  I'm such a lady!

Apparently Catie also thought she should have a tortilla chip when we went out to Tijuana Flats.

Yummy chips!

Get in my belly!

Hey, that's mine!

Don't look at me like that.

I said that's MINE!!!

Don't make me go in there and get it.

Fine, you can have it.  Talk to the hand!
