She was very grumpy because she just had her shots today. She's still so very cute. Even though we had to constantly hold it steady, she seemed to be content in the swing. We just couldn't coax a smile out of our grumpy Gus.

Eliza's first trip to the park
Since Eliza was very small when it was still warm enough in the fall, today was our first day at the park!

Four month check-up!
Eliza saw her new doctors today. Due to a giant snafu regarding who her primary care doctor is, her health coverage may or may not pay for it. We'll see.
Eliza has certainly grown. She's 90-95th percentile for height and weight. She's still about 50-75th for head circumference. 17 lbs in weight and 26 inches in height. She put up less of a fuss about her shots, so I managed to avoid crying this time. She napped in the car, but now she's bright-eyed and bushy tailed.
So the doctors think her ears look good and they're not worried about the cessation of babbling. They think she may just be prone to nighttime fussiness, too. They're taking her off her reflux medication since she's gaining weight so well. No more rice cereal in the bottle. That's probably contributing to her ample weight gain. They suggest small portions of rice cereal and then veggies for now.
So, that's where our little girl is at four and a half months. Next check-up is in March. Stay tuned.

SHOT through the heart and you're to blame. You give vaccination a bad name!
Poor Eliza had her first ever vaccinations today. Three shots and an oral vaccine. She screamed in pain with all three jabs and then I unexpectedly burst into tears. I honestly didn't think I'd cry, but the sound of that shriek hit me right in the gut. She managed to fall asleep for the rest of our outing. She even smiled a bit once we got home. However, while I was feeding her a couple of hours later, she started sobbing once again. I gave her a bit of Tylenol and now she's sleeping in her booster chair. I hope she's feeling better when she wakes up from her nap.
I honestly didn't expect that to be as difficult as it turned out to be. My poor little baby.
