And she weighs...

14lbs 13oz....I guessed 15lbs so I guess Mother always does know best ;) Lily is also now 24" long. Her weight is 75th percentile for her age and her height and head circumference are 50th - same proportions as last month so all is well. This puts her 2lbs and 2" behind Rowan at the same age. I thought from the beginning that she would be my smaller girl and so far that is proving to be true however we are only 4 months into her existance.

Poor thing also has a double ear infection and so is now on antibiotics - I had no idea she had one but Dr Klebeck assured me that her ears are probably not even bothering her but that they do need to be treated. Rowan only ever had 2 ear infections so I have no idea what to do or what to look for so I am hoping that Lily's is only because she has a really bad cold now and not a sign of many more to come.

Interestingly they want me to hold off putting her on solids for 2 more months - they advise now waiting until 6 months instead of starting right away at 4 months. We started Rowan at 4 months and 6 days but I really think she was ready and needing more than formula could provide for her. Lily still seems okay on formula and I suspected that she was not ready for food yet either. Whether we will make it for another 2 months on formula alone remains to be seen but for now it is what it is.

In Rowan news she had her last gymnastics class this past Saturday and starts her second session in two weeks. We get a week off in between. She has come a long way since the disaster that was the summer session where we dropped out after 3 classes because she would not stop crying and try anything to now where I swear she almost has a cartwheel down! She can do somersaults and bridges now and is so enthusiastic about it I love it. She and Parker have also become very regular Wii Fit users! It is so fun to watch her - she tries so hard, messes it all up, and is still having the time of her life using it because she is doing it with her dad like a big girl. :)
