Four Month Appointment

Millie went to her four month appointment yesterday. True to form, she was called wiggly by the nurse and the doctor. She had a lot of time to crinkle the exam table paper and did a fine job of it.


We got an official diagnosis for the misery that hit, me, then her, last week. Hand, foot and mouth disease, an unpleasant little enteroviral infection. Millie had some big sores in the back of her mouth, but not much on her hands or feet. Which explained why she was hating feeding time last week. Lucky for her, her mom believes in infant Tylenol. I know some parents don't, but I figure if I'm miserable and in pain and take something for it, why shouldn't she get some relief, too?

Her stats: 12 lbs 10 ounces, 24.5", and 40.8 cm head circumference. She's pretty much rocking the 15th percentile and sticking right to her curve.

In spite of being sick and quite tired, she's a happy baby and had some stories to tell Dr. Miller.

Can you tell she gets a little feverish lately? Poor babe.

Foot and mouth disease does not sound fun at all.

Her rosy cheeks would be right at home with my kids. She is smoochable and sweet in smocking.
