Dr.'s Appointment

Yesterday was Aurora's 4-month checkup.  Everything was great, except that she's only gained an ounce since her 10-week.  The doctor's a little concerned, but not too much so.  She said to start supplementing with formula a little more, but even starving first thing in the morning she wouldn't take formula.  Which is strange because she's taken formula before.  Most kids wind up liking formula better, but of course, leave it to Scott and I to have a weird kid.  So I got her some rice cereal and she seems to be taking to that pretty well.  So I have to take her back to the dr. in a month for a weight check, just to see if she's gaining weight better. 

4 Months

Aurora turned 4 months this weekend.  So many developments!  I went in her room to check on her during her nap last week, and she'd gotten herself rolled over for the first time.  Also, she figured out how to pull the handle on her musical frog herself, and I managed to get video of it (I'll be posting it later).  We've lost the battle of the thumb sucking; we were trying to keep her from doing it with the cunning use of pacifiers, but she's started spitting them out within 5 seconds and shoving her thumb in instead.  Pacifiers would be so much easier to break her from later, but she likes her thumb better.  Pick your battles, right?

My preggo hair is finally falling out, which is nice because I had horribly thick hair to begin with and pregnancy made it awful.  But it's also kind of a pain in the ass, because it's falling out EVERYWHERE.  Seriously, I scrubbed the floors last week and I was pulling up gobs of hair all over the place. 

In other news, Scott decided to tear up the living room last weekend.  There was a column in the living room that was hollow inside, and it drove him crazy.  So he cut it open and put in a cabinet.  It's still an ongoing project, the drywall still needs to be repaired and repainted, but it looks pretty great. 

That's all for now, I'm off to meet Scott and a friend for lunch.
