Today was Hana's 4 month appointment. Hana now weighs 16 pounds 4 ounces (7.35 kg). This means that she is in the 95th percentile in weight now. This also means that Hana weighs two pounds exactly (1 kg) more than Hayli did at her 4 month appointment! We have some big babies! Hana measures 25 inches (63.5 centimeters) long, which puts her in the 75th percentile still on height. Hana is one inch (2.5 centimeters) shorter than Hayli was at this age. Dr. Settles is not worried about Hana's jump in weight because she is sleeping 7-8 hours at a time at night. I guess it is normal for babies who eat a lot before they go to bed to jump up in their weight. My personal opinion is that Hayli spit up so much of her expensive formula that she just didn't take in as many calories as Hana does. Hana is a GOOD eater!
Dr. Settles checked Hana's hip -- all looked good. Hana left a present for mama to take care of before we left the doctor's office (thanks Hana!).
Hana sits really well for her age... she even stood up for the doctor. This made Dr. Settles (and mama) very happy!
After listening to Hana's lungs, Dr. Settles was concerned about Hana's respiratory system. Another close listen, and we were on a breathing treatment. (YUCK) Hana didn't get her shots because of her condition, and so we will be back next week for those. Hana does not like the breathing treatment at all -- which makes mama very sad to have to listen to her cry during the whole process!
