Rock*Star (Doctor Update)

We went to the doctor today. Sammie is 13 1/2 pounds and 24 inches long. She is growing just fine! I am still finding blood in her diapers- it's so visible. I didn't even have to ask the pedi about a GI referral, she brought it up when I told her that I don't think it's food at all. She doesn't fuss or hurt. She's just a normal happy little girl with blood in her poop. BUT if it is food, then maybe it's gluten, so I opted to stop eating gluten (I'm going to start Sunday). The GI doc is supposed to call some time this week or early next week to set up an appointment. I hope he can help us cause I don't think our pedi is too familiar with what is going on. Also, my goal was to start Sammie on rice cereal at 5 months, but now we need to wait until we find out what's causing the blood, just so we don't add to it :/
When I put Sammie down on the exam table today she rolled right over. I flipped her back to her stomach and over she went again. I think she was trying to impress the doctor, but she wasn't even in the room. Sammie got her 4 month vaccines and was a rock star. She didn't cry as long as her 2 month shots, and she barely cried then. She was pretty chipper today and very tired tonight. We'll see how tomorrow goes. Bring on the Tylenol!
As far as the swaddling, the doctor said if she sleeps best when swaddled (with both arms in) to keep doing it. Since it's only at bed time there's no harm in her not being able to move or feel things around her. When she's ready (maybe in a month or so) we can take the swaddle off and she'll learn in a few days to sleep without it. Beside the blood thing, it was a pretty good check up.

Things that Sammie does now:
When you are reading a book to her, she will read (babble) with you. She'll even hold on to the pages and turn them :)
She also makes this sound like she's clearing snot from her throat. I think it's cool, just cause she's figuring these things out, but Daddy thinks it's gross.
