Lydia Grace Barron and Molly Joy Barron

Lydia went to the Dr. yesterday for her 4 month check-up. Here's the latest:

Weight: 17.1 lbs (95%)
Length: 26 in. (95%)
Head: 16 1/2 cm. (75%)

What an overachiever she is! 95th percentile for both length and weight! She's very healthy and doing great. She received another 3 vaccinations this time. She was content and smiling at us as the nurse put the first needle into her thigh and then it happened... she became aware of the pain and her face and head turned bright red and the tears began to pour. So sad! The nurse quickly did the second one in the other leg, meanwhile Lydia was crying so hard that she stopped breathing for a second (which always freaks me out). Her face was nearly candy apple red. Poor baby! As soon as the nurse had applied the band-aids we scooped Lydia up and held her close. Oliver comforted her as I held her and she recovered, of course. Those were some monster-sized tears though! I think she receives another dose at 6 months and then she's through for awhile. We thank God for immunizations and good health insurance. We are blessed.
