Morganne's 4 month check up

So, Mo had her 4 month check up on Friday. Boy she is growing like a weed! She is now up to 15lbs. 6oz. - in the 90th percentile. Dr. Jacob said that she was very healthy and had no concerns. She was a brave little girl and got 4 shots but stopped crying very quickly. It just breaks my heart to see her upset.
We also had a check up with Dr. Berrios, our orthopedic specialist that we see for Morganne's hip issues. The news wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. The good news is that her hip is still in-socket, the bad news is that her hip socket is still very shallow and he wants to see her back in 1 month for a stress test x-ray. If her hip socket is still shallow she will be placed in a hard plastic brace at night for an undetermined amount of time. This is still better than a hard cast however! He also mentioned that he will most likely follow Morganne until around the age of two rather than just one like he had said before. Or at least until she is up and walking well. Oh well. Things could definitely be worse. She is still such a good baby and we are totally in love. For the time being she is brace free and we are enjoying it.
