Samantha had her 4 month check-up on Monday….at 5 months old! We got off schedule but we’ll be back on track for her 6 month checkup. It was a good visit – Dr. Walley said she looks great! Her herniated belly button is healing itself on its own and she’s just a happy, healthy baby!
She’s 15 lbs, 11 oz (75th to 95th%). Height is 25 1/2 inches (75th %) and head circumference is 16 (50th to 75th %). She’s not leading the pack in noggins like her brothers always did! Although hard to compare since she’s 5 months old, you’ll see below that she’s really similar in size to Maxwell. Spencer has – and I think will always be! – my bigger baby! 🙂
Maxwell at 4 months – 15 lbs, 26 inches long
Spencer at 4 months – 16 lbs, 11 oz, 26.5 inches long
Maxwell at 6 months – 15 lbs, 13 oz, 26.5 inches tall.
Spencer at 6 months – 18 lbs, 3 oz, and 27.5 inches long
The appointment was at 9:30 – smack dab in the middle of her morning nap time! As a result, she wasn’t the happiest camper when Nurse Shelly tried to weigh her! or when I tried to put her down on the table!
But, she got happy thanks to a paci and did great for Dr. Walley.
Now, when those shots got stuck in her leg? Not so happy. But, she then fell asleep and when we got home, I tucked her in for a nice, 3 hour nap!
So thankful for good doctor reports!

No one likes to see Baby Mantha like a pin cushion, but at least no measles!
