Thursday morning was Charlotte's 4 month well-baby visit. She's 13 lbs 14 oz, 24 3/4" long and her head circumference is 17". That puts her in the 50th, 75th, 96th percentiles, respectively, and she's up 6lbs 13oz and 4 1/4" from her birth weight and length. Her visit went well. She's hitting all of her developmental milestones and then some; her pediatrician was surprised at her strength and ability to pull up/stand while holding someone's hands, (which we know is a reflex, but Charlotte does it with little or no coaxing/help, and is pretty strong, so she'll stay standing for pretty long periods of time.)
On Friday we went to her first actual physical therapy appointment (the last one was an evaluation.) It was basically 45 minutes of hardcore playing. We learned how to play with her in a way that will benefit her neck best, and that she loves the football hold, and doesn't mind having her neck stretched when she's laying that way.
Physical therapy also resulted in a trip to Babies R Us, in an effort to find a ball, since we've learned that she's a big fan of them. Went spent a good amount of time there, lamenting the loss of toys that don't require batteries, but ended up finding one, plus a few new books. (Mama's a book addict, and is trying to indoctrinate Charlotte similarly.)
Last night Charlotte met up with her
future husband friend, Jack, who is 3 days older. (We were in the same birth class with Jack's parents.) I didn't bring my camera (silly Mama) so, alas no pictures. But I assure you, it was pretty cute. And there will be many more baby dates in the future.
All in all it was a pretty good, eventful weekend.
