Kendall turns 4 months old!

Kendall now weights 10 lbs, 10 oz and 23 3/4 in long. Still small in the weight percentiles but remains a good eater. She is now gobbling about 5oz in her bottle! The girl is petite with an excellent metabolism. Kendall was a trooper at her doctor's visit. She loves to show off to her doctor. As he was checking her vision she decided to try to grasp at the tool shining light into her eye. She also decided to show him how she can roll over whenever she pleases.....show off! Kendall was also there to receive 4 SHOTS! The nurse started off consoling her because she knew how much pain they would cause her. Kendall just giggled at the nurse and showed her beautiful grin. After shot one, Kendall just gave the nurse a stare, no cries. The nurse said, "Oh, Mommy...the first one goes easy here we go to shot number two..." Again, Kendall just gave the nurse a stare and now with a frown that turned to smile, but still no cry. The nurse kept saying, "Oh, Mommy here it comes, it will be ok" but Kendall appeared fine to me! Then shot number three. Another stare, frown, and a bit of a whine but then back to smile. On the last shot the nurse proclaimed, "This is the doozy, babies hate the last one" and..... AGAIN another stare, frown, and louder whine but NO cry! The nurse turned to me and said, "Oh my!! You have such a strong baby with a high tolerance for pain!" She just couldn't believe (along with me) that she was so good for her shots! Kendall may need to teach Lauren a thing or two about how to handle getting shots.
