4 month well-check

Kylie had her 4 month check up and shots today.  It went very well.  No tears at Dr. Resa this time, just happy smiles and coos, being her charming self while he held her and checked out all her fabulous self.  Dylan stole the show, however.  I'm not sure what prompted this, but when Dr. Resa walked in the room, Dylan shouted, "You're here!" and ran over and wrapped his little arms tightly around one of Dr. Resa's legs.--and then held on for several minutes.  

Kylie handled the shots really well.  She cried--not screamed--a little, pathetic, whimpery cry each time she was stuck with a needle (5 shots again this time), and that was all.  Her growth rate has slowed down a little bit, but not much.  She weighs 16.5 pounds (the 92nd percentile--she's no longer off the charts) and is 25.25 inches long (the 80th percentile--down from the 90th).  She's a sweet lil pumkin.

She was all smiley and chatty, but then when I sat her down to take her picture, it was impossible to get her to look at me because she was fascinated by her shoes.  She has discovered her toes in a big way lately, and usually has them in her hands any time she's on the floor or in her carseat.
She's actually occasionally getting that big belly off the floor now.  She may be an early crawler like her brother and sister after all.
I need to go back and play with the colors on this one some more.  I like the low saturation, but she looks a bit too ashen.  Need to pink her up a bit.
