4 Month Vital Statistics

As we may have mentioned, Bluet is now 4 months old. It turns out it is difficult to find time to put everything she does on the blog (I had no idea a baby would take up so much time, and do so many things). So today, here is her 4 month (and a bit) celebratory video. As you can see she is now very active and lively, and loves standing up (an important milestone, showing Bluet is very advanced for her age).

In today's big news, Bluet went for her 4 month check up and vaccinations (so she can benefit from and contribute to herd immunity). The nurse took her measurements and showed them to the paediatrician, who could not believe her head had got so big in just two months - they had to measure it again to be sure. Fortunately her weight and length are in proportion to her head, so she is totally normal, if above average in size*. She then had her injections which made her scream (and everyone sad to see her so upset). But that soon passed. By the time I got home from work, she was happy as anything, as you can see in the following photo (note the attractive plasters over the injected areas).

*She is in the 93rd -95th percentile for everything. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this means that if you got all the 4 month old babies to stand in a row in order of height (or head size), she'd be very near the front.

The day everything became hilarious

Bluet was 4 months old on Wednesday, but we were so busy laughing at her laughing that we didn't have time to make a sign to record this for posterity. It's possible that documentation of 4 months and a few days will be forthcoming.
