Madeline's 4 month checkup!

Madeline was wonderful at the doctor's today, while we waited, she was 'talking', smiling, and laughing her little heart out.

We got called back and the nurse took Madeline's temperature, weighed her, then measured her height and head circumference.

Shortly after that, Dr. V came in, and did his thing. He said that he wanted to re-measure her height because the nurse's numbers seemed off (according to her, Madeline was 25.25 inches, in the 85th percentile). Dr. V measured Madeline and corrected her sheet. We discussed our few minor concerns (poop things and such) and the doctor suggested that Madeline begin eating rice cereal in the mornings with a second feed of vegetables in the afternoon. (this is exciting because Maddle has been very interested in our food, and often mimics us when we eat. Jacob and I were going to ask the doctor about possibly starting her on solids as is!)

Madeline then had her 4 month shots, and we were good to go!

Madeline at 4 months:

Height: 24.25 inches (65th percentile)

Weight: 14 lbs, 3 oz (66th percentile)

Head Circumference: 16.25 inches (61st percentile)

Since the doctor's office is so close to our families, we stopped by Jacob's mother's house for a bit, you couldn't even tell that Madeline had just gotten two shots. She's so sweet.

Madeline is 3 months old!

Madeline and Jacob.

Jacob and I figured that we should have a minor celebration for her 3 month 'birthday', especially considering it's kind of a milestone. Having previously celebrated her 1 month birthday, we also plan on celebrating her 6 month and then 12 month birthdays. So Tuesday,  Jacob and I grilled some chicken breast and made (lemon butter) mashed potatoes and had a little cake in her honor.

Three flowers, perfect.

We got this cake at Publix. It was fantastic.

She watched her daddy light the candles.

We lit the candles and sang 'Happy Birthday' to her. It was fun and she smiled so big when we both sang to her. After we sang about her being three months old, Jacob helped Madeline blow out her candles.

After the main festivities, Little Miss Maddle got to wear one of the hand-made hand-me-downs from my grandmother. We took tons of pictures, but here's my favorite:

 She looked so sweet in this dress.

Sorry it's so photo heavy, but I have so many pictures I love!
