Morgen's 4 month check-up

Today was Morgen's 4 month check up. She weighs 15.7lbs, that's the 75% and is 26 inches long! That's the 90%. My pediatrician said to Morgen you have your sisters eye's & mouth, but not her weight! Ha~ JaCee was such a peanut. I looked back at her stats & at 4 months she was 12lbs. I knew Morgen was getting long too...she is just flying through clothes. I had to get out the "12 month tub" this weekend for new PJ's. My pediatrician said she looks great! She has some eczema on the back of her head. I was thinking her sensitive skin wasn't liking the material on a blanket I use or didn't like the flannel crib sheet...but it was neither. So she gave me a prescription for a high powered Cortisone cream we'll use. That will hopefully do the trick. My pediatrician gives the green light to start solids at 4 months. I actually started giving Morgen some rice & beans, squash & pears a few weeks ago at dinner time. She's handling all of this good so far. She also got 2 shots. Boo! I hate-hate-hate that part of check-ups. You get excited to see how big they are getting & then so sad when they get shots. She didn't cry when the 1st shot was given, but she realized what was happening with the 2nd shot. Poor thing. She's been pretty fussy the rest of today & wants to do nothing but sleep. (Doesn't help we had a rough night last night too). Next check up for her is at the standard 6 months. Matt & I are taking bet's on what age Morgen is going to catch JaCee in weight. She only has 10 more pounds to go!!!!

JaCee's ---- well, I am just sick to my stomach about her thumbs. She had her surgery & we took off the bandages this weekend. Unfortunately, only one thumb will straighten out. One is perfect, the other one is still locked up. Ughh. I called Shriner's to let the Dr's know, in case they want to see her right away, but they said they want to just let the pre-op process take hold. They will evaluate if we have to do surgery again at our 3 week follow up appointment. They did say there could be some internal swelling that is causing the hang-up...amongst many other things. We'll keep praying something will make them un-lock....Other than that, we're all doing well.

Here are a few recent pictures:

JaCee couldn't stand that Morgen was getting her picture taken with a HAT on, so she had to get hers on too!
