4 month well baby check

Tom took Stasa to her 4 month well baby check today. She weighed in at 13 lbs 9 oz and was 23" long. She's in the 75th percentile for her weight and the 25th for her head (Tom couldn't remember the percentile for her height). She got 3 shots today which included 5 innoculations. Dr. Hunter said she's growing fine and we don't have to start solids until 6 months, though we can start rice cereal now if we want. She also said we can get her ears pierced at any reputable piercing place. We're definitely going to hold off on starting solids since breastmilk is free and she's doing fine on it.

isn't 4 months old enough for a belly ring and a jello shot? no?

Nash - you've got it all wrong. 4 months is okay to get a tattoo. SIX months is the belly ring/ jello shot age. DUH.
