Calla's first solid foods/4 month well baby checkup!

Calla had her 4 month well-baby check up yesterday. The doctor said she looks really good! She weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces now which puts her in the 25th percentile. She is 24 and a half inches long, which puts her in the 70th percentile, and her head is in the 50th percentile! It was a very interesting appointment, seeing as when we got there she had a HUGE blowout of poo in her diaper, add that to her being asleep when we got there and that makes her a very unhappy baby to be at the doctor. She also got her second round of shots :(. Poor baby! At least she was happy for the actual doctor. He said she is a very curious and active baby, which is good. He also thinks she has started to develop a little bit of stranger awareness early, which isn't bad, but will be a little bit difficult! Overall she is doing very well. She sleeps through the night (about 10 hours a night), and is a happy little girl! She will have her next appointment at 6 months. I can't believe she's already getting to that point!

In other news, the doctor told us to go ahead and try giving her some solid baby food. He said that he thinks she will take to it pretty quickly and he was right! Here is a video of her eating some sweet potatoes (we tried some peas and she did not like them at all, but she loves the sweet potatoes!) 


Yay sweet potatoes!

Messy girl!

Trying to suck on her arm... :)
