We had Lyla's 4 month checkup today and it went really well. She tipped the scale at 13 pounds 6 ounces and 25.6 inches long. She was in the 90th percentile for height and 45th percentile for weight. The doctor said that he predicted if she stayed in at the 90th percentile she will be between 5'8 and 6' at full growth. Of course I am praying that I water down the gene pool. I would hate for Lyla to come at me in tears someday because no boys will date her because she is too tall. Aside from her growth she had to get her shots again. Scott finds this humorous and jokes that I am the one who needs consoling because I get more upset than Lyla. I didn't cry this time...almost did when I picked her up after the shots and she was crying to hard she couldn't breathe. Of course she was fine 5 minutes later. We don't go back until December 1st so that makes me happy. Hopefully she can stay healthy and out of the doctors office until then. The rest of the day we enjoyed family time. We went on a few walks, sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather. We also walked down to the baseball fields and watched the kids play. I explained to Lyla what baseball was and also told her that her Papa Doug played baseball and that her Aunt Brookie and Holly played softball. I think she wants to follow in their footsteps. Can't wait to come back to the mid-west to see you all. Still hashing out details and trying to figure out when we can get back. We miss our mid-west family so much!
