Just a quick stat update. Rylee had her 4 month check up and subsequent buffet of shots...always pleasant.
She is 14.65 lbs and 25 1/2" long -- 75 and 90th percentiles respectively. She laughed on Sunday -- sweet laugh. Apparently this morning she rolled over twice for Chad.
She is a healthy girl but is dealing with a nasty case of eczema. The doctor has asked me to give up dairy for a while to see if that helps. Grand week to try to give up dairy -- banner Thanksgiving! But if it helps my poor little itchy girl I am willing to try. Do you know that even chicken nuggets have dairy in them??? Ugh.
The other blow we received yesterday is apparently she is too long for her infant carrier. I argued with Dr. Berger about this for a few minutes until she showed me on the carrier where it said it is good until the child is 26." We were kind of hoping that we could make it until February when Z will be 4 yrs old and 40 lbs which is enough to go into a booster seat. Rylee would then move into Z's seats. It would be ridiculous to purchase 2 new seats for just a few months. Course it is safer to keep Z in a five point harness and his seats hold up to 80 lbs. It is just his feet don't fit behind the front seat very well anymore. Oh well. Maybe she won't grow 1/2" in three months -- what do you think?
Yeah, um, good luck with that...the adage, "They grow like weeds!" isn't around for nothin' ya know!
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to finally get to meet and hold Rylee...she is very sweet and adorable. If she can handle 71 guests for her 1st Thanksgiving, just IMAGINE the things she'll be able to cope with!
Hey- I support the whole no dairy thing- that's more milk for me! ~your loving husband
ReplyDeleteI say give Rylee the old car seat and buy a booster for Zachary. You'll save some big bucks on the second car seat which will only be needed for a few months. and sometimes it feels good to buck the system. Heck we didn't even have car seats when we were kids and shockingly we are still alive.
