We survived Hayley's second round of shots and Daddy even stayed in the room without causing bodily harm to the needle wielding nurse. Hayley actually did very well with this set of shots and just cried a little (who can blame her?) rather than the blood curdling screams she let out two months ago. Overall she had a good checkup and is hitting all her milestones, but as I suspected, the Dr. is concerned about her weight. At 4 months she is 24.5 inches long and weighed 11 pounds 9 ounces which is a significant drop from the 25% range that she had been weighing in for her previous checkups. The Pediatrician seems to think that perhaps my milk is not "fatty" enough and has asked me to start giving Hayley about 8 ounces of formula a day. We go back in a month for a weigh in to see if Hayley's weight has gone up some.

Shelley I feel honored to have made your "link" column on the right. We always enjoy catching up with your family via blog. I check it once a week, it's a treat to see how much Hayley has grown and what she is doing. Thanks for being so good about sharing.

You crack me up Nisa! I'm glad I could make feel "honored!" We too enjoy seeing the pics you post of Brayden and your Hayley. Your house looks beautiful and we really wish we could see all of Jason's handiwork in the basement firsthand!
