Baby Carlson's (Danielle Nicole Carlson) journey

Well August 20th was your 4 month birthday, and the 21st was your appt. We found out that you now weigh 15 lbs 12 oz and are 25 1/2 inches long. Such a big girl! The nurse who gave you your shots, was also much better than before, and was very quick.. You cried a bit, but as soon as it was over, mommy picked you up, and you stopped crying. We brought you home and fed you. The Pediatrian told us that we can begin feeding you rice cereal. Wow cereal!! we were excited to hear that. we gave you tylenol every 4 hrs and you slept through the night again. You woke up the next day with bruise spots where the shots were administered, and you weren't kicking as much. But when daddy got home, you were happy to see him, and you also did something for daddy that he had not heard before. You Laughed! This was only the second time, and guess what caused you to laugh, dare I say it! Mommy burped, and you giggled, and she burped again, and you giggled more. Daddy tried burping and you didn't even flinch. Then mommy was silly in front of you and you laughed again. It was truely amazing to hear you laugh, and very memorable. I can't wait to hear that sound again. Happy birthday sweetheart. Your next appt is in 2 months. By then you should be sitting up.
