She's huge!

Myla had her four month check up yesterday. She tipped the scales at EIGHT pounds, 7 1/2 ounces. And she stretched out to an even 20 inches long. She's huge! When he plotted her growth on the chart, it was almost a straight up shot! Along with the check up came four immunization shots and a prick on the big toe for iron levels. That was not fun. But she didn't scream as loud or as long as some of the other kids we've heard in there. All in all, the doctor said that she was doing great, and she looked like a normal little baby. He was very happy with her growth and told us to just keep doing what we are doing. And he doesn't want to see us again until her six month check up!

She had a home oxygen test today to see about kicking the oxygen habit. They wanted to test her while she was eating, awake and sleeping to see what her saturation levels were. She did really great on the first two, and then her levels tanked when she fell asleep. So, dad made a call to the supply people and ordered one more month of oxygen.

She's a pretty good baby. She's started really watching things with contrasting colors and even tracking us a little bit with her eyes. She's really strong too. Her little head is up a lot and she kicks like crazy with her legs. Almost shot herself off mom's lap one day. She loves to swing and talk to her Carebear that her Aunt Aimee gave her in the hospital. She loves it when we sing to her too - maybe remembering from our time in the NICU. She's just an awesome little being.
