Melanie's 4-month check up

Miss Melanie went for her 4-month check up this morning. She tipped the scales at 17lbs 3oz, which puts her in the 97th percentile. She measured at 25.5 inches and that puts her in the 89th percentile. To quote the nurse, "She's quite a big girl." We got the okay from the dr. to start feeding her rice cereal once a day. We'll see how that goes. Melanie is sleeping through the night (8:30pm to 6am!) and would rather suck her thumb than the pacifier. She laughs and coos at Allie alot. Now if she could only defend herself against Allie. One day...
