Wren 4 Month Stats

Our little songbird is growing so quickly. Poor thing did not have a good day yesterday -- 5 shots! I felt like the worst mother ever. We used a slower paced immunization schedule for Atticus, but I was just nervous for Wren. She's around her big brother who spends his days around countless other little germ-ridden kids. But I still wonder if I did the right thing -- but to be perfectly honest, I hadn't thought about the schedule we were going to follow with her until we were at the pediatrician's office.

Sigh.

The other thing that's kinda strange at this pediatrician's office versus our old one -- the scale they use for the babies is an old school type of scale where you slide the weighted block thingies and get the bar to balance. I'm not sure how accurate that can be with a squirmy infant. Oh... and we left the diaper on. Previously, we stripped them down to their birthday suit and put them on a digital scale. Eh... what can you do?

Wren weighed in at 14lbs even according to their scale and 25.5" tall. That put her in the 75-90% for height and 25-50% for weight. Tall and skinny. At least that's consistent from birth! I just checked and at 16 weeks Atticus was 16lbs and 1 oz and 26" tall. So, she's definitely skinnier than her big brother (which you'd never know from looking at her roly poly thighs) and almost as tall as he was!!

She's also quite the little mover. She can flip from back to belly in no time flat and while on her belly, she's already starting to hike her little knees up under her! Eeek, it won't be long before she's up and walking, running and chasing after her big brother!
