Well, Alyssa had her four month appointment today. She weighs 13 pounds 11 ounces and is 25 3/4 inches long. She is getting so big! She is in the 98th percentile for her height & the 50th percentile for her weight. The doctor said she is slender for her height.
She is now able to start on cereal & once she can eat it at oatmeal consistancy, she can start on fruits & vegetables! The fun begins!
We have made the decision to switch her to formula. It was a very hard decision to make. It took almost a week to make it. Up until this point, she was exclusively on breastmilk. It's gotten to the point where she wants to eat more than I can give. Also, I am having trouble pumping a bottle, so it's hard to go anywhere. I believe that this will be the best decision in the long run. I am just feeling very guilty & not sure why.
Her next appointment is at 6 months on February the 9th. She will get her 6 month shots then & also have her tounge clipped. She is tounge tied. The doctor wanted to do it today, but Bryan wasn't there & I couldn't do it alone. I feel bad that she has to have it done, but some things you have no control over.
Other than that, she is happy & healthy & growing like a weed!

Way to grow, Alyssa!! Your Mommy must be taking such good care of you! I am praying that your switch to formula will be a smooth one!
I'm glad she's taking her formula well. I'll be looking forward to my turn to give her a bottle! Noni
