4 month checkup

So, as I mentioned, Elizabeth had her 4 month checkup on Valentine's Day.  Since she had been sick on her actual four month checkup, we had to reschedule her shots until she was done with all her medication.  She was so funny when we took her in there to see the doctor... she just sat and laughed and "talked" to the nurses and doctor.  The doctor even made the comment that she wouldn't be so playful if she only knew what was about to happen to her!  Here are the stats from her doctor's appointment: 13lbs, 5oz; 24 1/2 inches long, 16 1/4 inches head circumference.  She fell right at 50th percentile on everything.  Our little sweetpea is growing good and healthy. 

Now, while we were there, we decided to go ahead and get Elizabeth's ears pierced.  So Elizabeth wouldn't get mad at us, the doctor and the nurse held her down while they did it.  She SCREAMED!  But, her mommy was right there to love on her shortly after! She looked so darn cute with the little earrings!  Then it was on to the shots... four needles in one day!  She got two shots which is cried through but was not nearly as bad as the ear piercing.  We had to explain to her that is the price you pay for health and beauty!  Of course, she doesn't understand right now but all is well now and our little princess did great considering! 

The doctor went ahead and gave us the go ahead to start cereal with Elizabeth.  This was her first time trying to eat from a spoon.  She did not like it, nor did she want anything to do with it.  Here is the mess we created that night!

She just wanted to suck on spoon!

To this day, she still doesn't want to eat her cereal but we will keep trying and hopefully she will be eating like a big girl soon! :)
