Gracie's four month check up

On Wednesday Gracie had her four month check up. I still can't believe she's four months! Gracie is weighing in at 12 pounds and 11 ounces and is now 24 and a half inches long. She is still in the 50th percentile for her height, but has now dropped from the 33rd percentile to the 22nd for her weight. We have to go back in to see Dr. Haugen (Gracie's pediatrician) in one month to have her weight checked again due to her only gaining 10 ounces in a month.
I hate to compare one child to the next, but I'm always curious on what Payton weighed or was doing as she grew. At four months Payton weighed 14 pounds and 12 ounces and was 24 and a half inches long.
Everything is still pretty much the same with her breathing. She'll have a couple of good nights with only waking up once to eat, but then go back to waking up quite a bit throughout the night from choking or her gasping for air. (Yes, I'm exhausted!) Through all of this, Gracie's napping really well during the day and is a very happy little girl! She has her fussy time still in the evening, usually around 7-8pm, which is probably because it's so close to her bedtime.
We're waiting to hear back from Dr. Haugen regarding going back to Children's to meet up with the Ear/Nose/Throat doctor to see what we can do to help Gracie's breathing. We'll keep everyone posted on her status.
