Little Ladybug Goes to the Doctor!

Brooke had her 4 month doctor appointment today. Being that Brooke has a reputation now at the doctor's office, for "best dressed baby", I had to make sure she wore something special. Normal moms take their children in something simple to take on and off and I take Brooke in outfits from Gymboree and the like with a million pieces. Who would have ever thought I'd be the girlie girl mom? LOL

Tada! Thank you Katie for this great outfit!
Our cute little lady bug all ready to go to the doctor!

As soon as we walked in, a few of the nurses came running over to see what she was wearing today. Then the camera phones came out... mission accomplished, they loved her outfit!

Her check up went great! She weighed in at 19.9 pounds (99th percentile), was 26.5 inches long (98th percentile) and head size was 16.5 inches (92nd percentile). The doctor isn't the least bit concerned about her size, especially because she is so proportionate! She gave us the OK to start giving Brooke "Stage 1" fruits and veggies, along with the rice cereal and bottles she is already currently getting. She also gave us the OK to start letting her play in her "jumperoo"! There should be some fun pictures to post in the near future of Brooke trying out new things!

The doctor was very impressed with her strength, her ability to sit up on her own and especially her eye-hand coordination! She commented that Brooke is doing things 1-2 months ahead of schedule. Way to go Brooke, an over-achiever already! The visit ended with another round of shots, which she handled like a champ! Only 1 little squawk and that was it! We'll see how the next 24 hours go... (fingers crossed!)
