Jessica's latest trip to the pediatrician yesterday went well. At 4 months and 23 days old she weighs 12lb 6oz, her length is 60.5 cm and her head circ. is 40 cm. She has good muscle tone, reflexes are normal, hearts and lungs are normal, she rolls, smiles, explores everything, puts her hands in her mouth and babbles! Not to mention she is ADORABLE.
I am such a proud mother!
