4 Month Check Up

This week, Jocelyn had her 4 month well child exam. For the first time, we actually got to see our own Pediatrician, Dr. Mellick. Jocelyn is doing great and growing like crazy. She currently weighs 15lbs. which is in the 76% for typical kids. She is 25.8in tall, which is in the 92% for typical kids. Both of these are completely off the charts for kids with Down's. Her exam checked out great. She doesn't have any lingering symptoms from when she was sick. She also had the unpleasant experience of getting her shots. She took them like a champ. She did great, only a few tears. She is also right on track developmentally. She is rolling over from tummy to back and getting good at holding her head up. We are working on sitting up and rolling over more. I think that our OT is really helping a great deal. So we are good to go for another couple of months and don't need to go back until she is 6 months old.

  1. That's so neat that you started your own blog about the trials and tribulations of little Jocelyn and her adoring parents. So glad to hear that she is developing so rapidly and normally and all is going well. Sounds like you had quite a trying time with her congestion and cough but she rebounded like a champ. We miss you guys and really are anxious to see you and "Baby J".
