Yeap hard to believe our little guy has been with us for over 4 months! Then again I can’t really remember life before him :) Here’s what happened at his MD appointment:

  • Weight 12 pounds (up 2 1/2 pounds since his last visit two months ago). He’s tracking right where they want him to be and will definitely meet the goal of doubling his birth weight before his six month appointment.
  • Height 24 inches (up 1 1/2 inches since last visit two months ago)
  • He has a little eczema on his feet (takes after his Daddy)
  • He can officially start baby food (if we want)
  • We were assured that its okay that he HATES tummy time. He might be one of those babies that skips crawling all together and goes straight to toddling around :)
  • He’s teething!! Guess we’re completely oblivious. We knew he LOVED to suck on his fingers but he’s done that ever since he found his fingers so didn’t assume that meant he was teething. But apparently the doc could tell he has teeth trying to come through on the bottom. Poor little guy.
  • He did really well with his shots. Screamed for just a few seconds until Daniel picked him up. Then he was fine. Also figured out he sleeps REALLY good when he has Tylenol. He slept 7 1/2 hours last night!!!!

So all in all, he’s perfect :) But we already knew that!
