Mary Catherine 4 month checkup

Today was Mary Catherine's 4 month checkup. She saw Dr. Poole at the Christie Group Pediatrics in Greenville. Everything went well - he said that she was doing great. She is 13 lbs 10 oz, which is the 35 percentile for weight. She is 25.5 inches, which is the 80 percentile (I would have never guessed that she was actually "tall" - but statistically speaking, she is for a 4 month old!) Her head is 39 cm, which is like only the 5th percentile.

Poor thing had to get shots today, too. She screamed when the nurse stuck her in the legs, but as soon as I picked her up, she calmed down. She fretted for a few minutes, but then was okay. I put her in the carseat shortly after. She stuck her thumb in her mouth and went right to sleep.

She hasn't ran any fever today and has slept off and on all day. She was actually in a good mood and felt like playing when Ella got home from school. We stopped at Target to find some Halloween costumes. Ella wanted her to be a pumpkin, so I naturally bought the 3-6 month one. We tried it on when we got home and even though she is adorable in it, it is really too small. Her legs are too long and they were all bunch up in the bottom of it. Guess I will have to take it back and get a bigger size!! Here is a video of Ella and MC playing together.

Her new found hobby is making noises with her mouth and tongue. It's the funniest thing.

In this video, as she was rolling over, she kind of gets stuck in the middle - probably b/c she was getting tired - but it is funny when she makes over to the other side. Silly thing!!
