Caitlyn had her 4 month check-up today (although she doesn't turn 4 months til December 9). She received another set of immunizations and did so well. She received her first set at her last appointment and listening to her cry really tore at my heart, so this time I brought reinforcement... Her daddy! She screamed like I had never heard her scream before. It brought tears to my eyes and this time one actually went down my cheek. Thank God that Ashley was there!
She weighed in at a whopping 11 pounds and is 24 3/4 inches long. She was in the 90th percentile for her length and the 15th percentile for her weight. The doctor said that she is already taking after her mommy and daddy, tall and slender. She finally went down for the night at about 7:45pm. Lately she's been sleeping anywhere from 7-11 hours in the night. It's amazing... I feel rested. So, for those of you out there with younger babies... There is light at the end of the tunnel.
This is a picture of Caitlyn after her appointment. We visited Babcia for tea and pumpkin pie.
After dinner we all lounged around and watched football. 
Ash and I then headed to his parents house for another turkey feast. After that meal we started a movie with ash's family and aunt, uncle, and cousin, but the tryptophan had gotten the best of me and slept through the whole thing. When the movie was over Ashley, Caitlyn, & I headed home where we crawled in bed and took time to recognize that we are extremely blessed and have so much to be thankful for. Caitlyn was especially thankful for her mommy and daddy.
Among many things, we are thankful for our healthy & happy baby girl, our family, friends, our home, our jobs, and a life filled with love and happiness. Happy Thanksgiving!
