Mio with her Winkel

This morning, Mio went in for her 4-month doctor’s visit. She got follow-up doses to the six vaccinations that were given at her 2-month visit. Mio cried when she got the shots as expected, but she calmed relatively quickly afterwards and slept the whole way home. She had been pretty fussy for a few days after her 2-month vaccinations, and sure enough, she has been pretty cranky all afternoon and evening again today. Hopefully it will pass soon.

At the pediatrician today, Mio weighed in at exactly 16 lbs, which is in the 89th growth percentile based on weight-for-age. Our pediatrician was a little flabbergasted at how big she was… Our Mio is quite the chunky baby!

Mio stared at us as we ate, wondering when the day would come when she could have some Ethiopian too.

Hello, sweetheart!

That’s all, folks!
