The Dreaded Appointment

Kiley had her 4 mo. check-up yesterday.  I've been dreading it for oh, about 2 months now!LOL  I was just worried about her shots.  Now that she's a lot more alert & smiley I figured it'd be super sad.  I'm pretty sure it was harder on Brad & I than on Kiley though!  She did cry, but she didn't scream like I expected & it didn't last very long either.  So far she's been fine, no fever & just barely fussy.  We've given her a little Tylenol today just because it seemed like her legs were hurting her a little.  Her weight is up to 14 lbs. 4 oz. (a little about the 50% mark) her height is now 25.5 inches (75-90%) & her head was about at the 50th percent.  Seems crazy to me that she's already grown 5.5 inches since she was born!  Not surprising though, since she's already outgrowing some of her 3-6 mo. stuff (length wise).  I think she's taking after my side of the family so far...longer body & shorter legs.  We'll see if it stays that way or not!  That's pretty much it for that appt.  She's doing great, healthy, reaching all her milestones!  We're gonna wait till 6 mo. to start solids.  That's the latest recommendation from the AAP & the pediatrician said there's no real reason to start before then.
On Monday Kiley had her 2nd eye dr. appt.  He thought her eyes looked fine & he was no longer concerned about them being crossed (well, he was never really concerned...just being safe)  He still wants to see her at 1 yr. just to make sure.
That's it with us.  We're leaving in the morning for Nebraska.  We're gonna stay in Oklahoma tomorrow.  That 12 hr. drive to York is long for us adults, I can't imagine trying to get Kiley to go 12 hrs. in a car!  Not to mention with stops & everything it'd take a whole lot longer than 12 hrs.!  I'm taking Monday & Tuesday off next week.  It'll be a fun trip & I know my parents are excited to see Kiley (and I guess they'll put up with seeing Brad & I too, lol)
