Daddy's Under My Spell

Daddy snapped this cute photo of me. He loves this outfit! Mommy bought the headband and clip from BabySteals.com. The item of the day was a hair bow set from The Hair Candy Store. The clip is a witch. Next year when I have longer hair the clip will look so cute.

My First Halloween

Today I went to a Halloween party at my mom's job. People kept telling me how cute I was in my ladybug costume. Mommy and Daddy were a plug and socket and they won $100 in the costume contest. The party was a bit long, but I had a fun time.

Rolling Over

Today I have mastered rolling over both ways. I started rolling from my back to my tummy on October 19th, but as soon as I rolled over I started crying. I've never been much of a tummy time baby. Rolling over is now my favorite thing to do. I love to lay on my floor mat and roll back and forth.

Watch What I Can Do

Last night I rolled over from my back to my tummy and mommy was able to snap some photos. I don't like being on my tummy so as soon as I rolled over I started to cry. Mommy put me back on my tummy and I rolled over again. She was so excited for me!

My 2nd Ear Infection

Mommy decided to take me to the doctor on October 15th because I was showing signs of possibly having another ear infection. Of course when the doctor looked at my ears my right ear was infected. He prescribed Augmentin which is stronger than Amoxicillin. Diarrhea is a side effect of Augmentin and boy did I have diarrhea big time. It resulted in the worst diaper rash I've had yet. Triple Paste has seemed to work on my diaper rashes before, but even that didn't help resolve my diaper rash. After using Desitin and Triple Paste for a couple weeks it finally went away. Let's hope I don't get anymore ear infections.

4 Month Appointment

Today I had my 4 month appointment with Dr. Wilcox. This is the breakdown of my height, weight, and head circumference.

Height- 24.75 inches. I'm in the 69.98 percentile for length.
Weight- 16.36 pounds. I'm in the 94.73 percentile for weight.
Head Circumference- 16 inches. I'm in the 41.04 percentile for head circumference.

I had the following immunizations: DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), Polio, Rotovirus, and Pneumococcal. The Rotovirus immunization was given to me through my mouth. The other immunizations were shots. The nurses came in and stabbed me with two needles at once. They were very mean!
