Baby Got Shots

(Charlotte sleeping after her shots)

 

Today Charlotte had another Well Baby Check up where she attained 2 more shots and ingested the Rotateq vaccine. She thought the Rotateq vaccine tasted funny sometimes, and others she felt it tasted good. It was really funny watching her trying to figure out whether she liked it or not. She was cracking up about it, too. The nurse gave her shots in her leg after that and the first one didn't bother her, but the second one made her kind of unhappy. Probably because we stuck her twice, but she let out a little cry and then was done! She's so brave! I'm so proud of her.

 (Charlotte is just so cute!)

She is in the 90th percentile for weight and height being 26.75 inches tall and weighs 16 lbs. and 14 ozs. She's a big girl! But she's only in the 75% for her head size! She has a little peanut head! She's so cute.

Of everything I've read and heard about so far, I think Craig and I are going to try to give her some rice cereal soon. Tonight we're feeding the missionaries, tomorrow night is a Valentine's Dinner at the church, Saturday night I'll be attending a close friends birthday party so Sunday we might give it a try. I'll post pictures of the first attempt once we try it out. I've heard to wait until they are 6 months old so as to prevent any food allergies but I've also heard to start them at 4 months.  Charlotte is just about 5 months at 19 weeks and has doubled her birth weight and sits pretty well. These are other factors Doctors suggests for the baby before starting them on rice cereal and so has given me conviction to begin her new diet. So we'll see!
