Peyton Update

Last Friday we had Peyton's 4 month well check-up and she is doing great. She had to get 4 more shots and she cried for 7 seconds and then was fine. I think that Dad had a harder time with it then she did. Brandon was unable to go with me the first time she had to get her shots and the exact words that came out of his mouth were "I never want to see that again!" I think that hardest thing for him was watching her face and the flinch that she gave after the first shot. Peyton is a trooper and such a tough baby.

Here are Peyton's updates:
Head: 41 1/2cm 50%
Height: 24 3/4in. 57% (She is long and lean)
Weight: 13lb 9 3/4 oz. 24%

We talked about starting her on rice cereal, but we are going to hold off until she is closer to 6 months. I was a little worried that she was too skinny, but the doctor had no problem with her weight and said that she was looking great. I have been very happy that I have not had to give Peyton any formula yet and have been able to provide enough breast milk while at daycare. Not the case on Monday. Peyton has still only wanted 4 oz. and on Monday she decided that she needed to have 7oz., so she had her first taste of formula. I was a little disappointment and felt like I let her down, but she was great and had no problems. Dirty diapers now...Wow!!
