Well they were able to do the stool tests (yay) and they all came back negative (double yay). I suppose she is just going to be one of those kids who has really (and I mean really) smelly poo. Lucky me!
We also went to the Pediatrician on Monday for her 4 mos shots and all the other goodies. She was a champ with the shots and only cried during one of them but that was becasuse it burned a bit. But as soon as she started crying it was over. So that was good. Another thing that was good was she slept like a champ for her naps and slept straight through the night! Although Mommy looked like she had had a breast augmentation in the middle of the night when she woke up. That wasn't any fun.
She currently weighs 14.9 lbs and is 25 inches long; which puts her in the 75-90 percentile for both. I heard a rumor babies weren't supposed to double their birth weight until they were 6 months old; apparently Madelyn did not get that memo.
We also started talking about solids! She has been eating rice cereal with every meal since she was 3 mos old (reflux issues..yadda yadda yadda) and we have gone fro the consistency of melted ice cream to a thick gruel in a month. She takes 5 mL in a syringe, as she is nursed, and then yesterday she took 5mL in the syringe and then another 5mL in a spoon and in her high chair! And it didn't even end up all over her face and bib! What a big girl! We were also instructed to begin giving her oatmeal in a few weeks, however I think I will just wait until all the rice cereal is gone and then start the oatmeal, which will probably be in 1 week, no biggie I think. Then at 6 months we can get her on the yellow veggies. So exciting!
It's really nice to have some good news to report.
