Baby Bird had her four-month well-child check-up today. Bird was in her usual tummy-down position when Dr. Harrington walked in, impressing the doc straight off! Dr. Harrington was further wowed by tales of Baby Bird's rolling and pivoting about in circles, and when she saw Baby Bird bringing things up to her mouth. The stats: 15 pounds 5 ounces (80%), 25 inches (73%). Dr. Harrington noted that though the Bird had grown, her percentiles were down. She speculated this was because Baby Bird is such a mover and a shaker she was burning through more calories, and thought increasing the amount in her bottles was a good idea. So Julie is going to add a pump in early in the morning for the time being to try to get about 2 more ounces--enough for three 5 ounce bottles. Then the Bird got two more shots. She was a champion! Cried out as the last one was winding up but wound it up pretty quickly, and then fell fast asleep on the way to collect Joe from school.
