Riley had her 4 month doctors appointment yesterday, and everything went well. Although I might of had a mini-heart attack when the doc spent a good 2 minutes listening to her heartbeat. It usually takes no more than 15 seconds, so when he kept moving the stethoscope around her chest and listening, it made me nervous. He said she was breathing at the same pace with her heart, so he thought she might have a heart murmur, but she doesn't! Whew!
By the way what is it with parents of sick kids letting those germy little rascals run around the waiting room touching all of the toys/books and contaminating all of the air! I was thoroughly annoyed, and wanted to tell a couple of moms, "don't you see that sign over there for the sick waiting area?!" Ugh, so inconsiderate!
So here are the 4 month stats:
13 lbs 13 oz (Josh was way off with his prediction of 16 lbs)
24.5 inches long (tall?)
still no signs of a Chapa-sized head
Doc gave the green light for solid foods, so Josh and I are probably going to try out some rice-cereal this weekend. Pics definitely to follow. On Valentine's day we took Riley to Buca di Beppo and I put a little juice from my lemon on her lips. I know this is like the oldest trick in the books for causing funny baby faces, but it worked like a champ and had us laughing hysterically. Sorry I have no pictures, I know you would love them!
We are getting so excited to take her to Arizona in less than 4 weeks! I am going to have a hard time sharing my little love bug, but I can't wait for everyone to see just how adorable and feisty this girl really is!
