Tipping the scales

Our little rookie continues to be a happy and healthy baby. Olivia had her 4-month wellness check-up last Wednesday. I was really interested in her stats this time. She seemed like she growing like a weed and getting heavier.

And for good reason -- she is now tipping the scales at 15 pounds 10 oz. She is 25 inches long and her head circumstance is 41 cm. So it looks like her head is growing so fast that the hat I was knitted her will be too small for her head by the time I finish it.

Olivia took her second dose of vaccinations like a champ, crying really loud at first, but completely distracted once Daddy was holding her again.

She is meeting all of her developmental milestones, including smiling and grabbing for items that dangle in her direction. She smiles like crazy anytime anyone talks in her presence, including the doctor. Olivia recently found her feet and loves to grab her toes and pull them toward her face.

The doctor is happy with her weight gain. The doctor commented on Olivia's chunky thighs saying "she doesn't miss many meals, does she?"

No she sure doesn't.

After a few quickly out grown pairs of knitted socks, I decided blankets and stuffed animals are maybe the way to go when knitting for baby.
