Four Month Well Check for Niki

Last night she got 2 shots and an oral vaccine. She LOVED them. NOT! After a couple doses of infant tylenol she was fine. She was actually pretty happy soon after but she did seem to have some pain in the night and get quite warm. She was all smiles this morning in the bath and heading to daycare. She weighed in at 12 pounds 12 ounces and 2 feet tall. I am definitely finding the other children’s’ shot records this weekend. I think Jaime was two feet tall at two years of age. I am probably wrong and I shall find out soon. Anyways, Miss Niki is doing just as she should for her age – rolling over, talking the doc’s ear off, following sounds and people. We can start her on pseudo solids too. But no cheerios until she holds her head up better and has a tooth or two – whatever! I joke that she’s going to turn into Monica from Friends because she’s been staring us down when we eat or drink for a month now. Oh well – this is all for experimentation and her learning about food anyways. What fun we will have!

He's FINALLY Fourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

He’s been waiting for this day for months. I just hope it lives up to his expectations. The older girls set their alarms for 555am and we all sang Happy Birthday to him this morning, except Nicole – she slept through the whole thing.

Last night we went to visit the Easter Bunny. The girls were in disbelief when I didn’t make them dress in their Sunday best for the picture. I told them that they went to school like that why can’t they sit with The Bunny like that. I also mentioned that they were beautiful no matter what they had on and that the picture would be good for them in the future when they look back and realize what dorks they were! HA! They still didn’t think I was okay with it, but I was. I am quickly realizing that moments don’t need to look perfect to be perfect! :-)
