Lola's 4 month checkup

Lola had her 4 month checkup today. Here were her stats:

Weight: 13.14 lbs. (50%) Not as plump as we thought!
Height: 24 inches (50%) Not model height yet!

I looked back at Angelo's stats from his four month check up and he weighed 15 lbs (90%) and was 25 inches. Our little chunky monkey. So, even though Uncle Tony calls her tri-thigh, she didn't have the girth of her big bro!

She had to get one oral "shot" medication in her mouth and then one shot on her left thigh. She did really well. No crying. She was looking at me smiling and while being distracted by mom the nurse did her thing. I don't even think she realized that she got the shot. She still has to get one more that we will have to go back for another time. National shortage.

She does have eczema like her mama. She got some steriod cream for her neck (she had a rash) and in the creases of her elbows. Should be cleared up soon.

Lola is just the prettiest baby girl that I've ever seen. Her big blue eyes and her sweet little curled up eyelashes. She is just so precious. It's nice to get some alone time with her while Angelo is in school. This is our mommy/daugter bonding time. We just sit quietly at home or go out shopping.

Mommy had a little incident today while out shopping. I went and bought 2 new pairs of cute ballet flat shoes for the start of fall (no high heels in my future). Well, after my purchase, we are walking out the door and I hit my toe on Lola's stroller. My toenail immediately starts GUSHING blood. I bent the whole thing back and now it's just hanging on by some skin. It looks awful and hurts! It also is effecting the way I walk! I think I need some reconstructive plastic surgery done on my toenail. I'm just going to have to wrap it up so I don't hit it on anything and see what happens. If this is going to be a six month process, how am I going to go get pedicures??? Now I'm not sure if I should take my cute shoes back or what. It's going to hurt to wear closed toed shoes, but also going to be dangerous to wear only flip flops for fear of someone stepping on my toe or god forbid I get an infection. Jeez! At least summer is almost over so I can hide my ugly toe for the winter.
