4 month dr visit

sophia had her 4 month pediatrician visit today + more immunizations. she weighs a whopping 17.7 lbs and is 25 inches long. she’s a lot bigger than average and is super healthy. we talked to the pediatrician about adding oatmeal to her formula because she is just always hungry but it feels like i keep giving her too much formula cuz she’s never full long. she gave us the okay and said we don’t need it necessarily for nutrition cuz she’s already getting all she needs. also we are switching back to level 1 bottle tops she told me it’s better for her still because the 2’s get the formula to her belly too fast which results in more spitting up. so dialing it back to level ones and she said she should be eating 4 or 5 ounces. i told her i only do 6oz in the morning then the rest of the day is 4 and the evening is 5, not 6 oz every meal. so we’re gonna try the oatmeal in her formula and see if it keeps her full longer instead of constantly drinking so much formula. she was complimented on her head game. her head is strong and she holds it up super well. she also told us about her eating purées and solid foods next visit at 6 months old. i can’t wait cuz that’s gonna be so fun having her try different real foods. she was so good at her visit today. she wasn’t even mad i woke her up early. she talked and talked on the way to her appointment. was really good at the dr. she cried when she got the shots but stopped crying immediately after picking her up. 

this little boy came up to us and in a shy little voice asked “why is she here today?” i told him she was getting her check up. he’s like “is that why her nose is red?” lol i said “no but she got her shots today” hes like “is it cuz she was crying?” i said yeaa:( lol 
we took her to the park after and i held her so she could touch the trees and feel the branches. she saw some ducks,  turtle, lots of different birds and then she got fussy and screamed her head off on the way back.
