4 Month Stats

Chilling at the Homecoming Game

Friday Alex headed to the work with Mommy for the day. He had a well baby check-up in the afternoon, so he came and visited everybody in the office. He was very good, and everyone enjoyed seeing him.

We headed to the Dr. and Alex did very well considering he had to have two exams. Dr. Veronica had a Physician's Assistant Medical Student who did an exam and then reported to the Dr. and then the Dr. came in and did an exam. Then the little man had to have two shots. He didn't even flinch on the first one, but screamed on the second one. Don't worry, Mommy was there to make him feel better. He fell asleep on the way home, so I just left him in his carseat. He ended up staying there until it was time to go to the football game. He was so tired all night long, and we kept giving him Tylenol. It was cold and rainy at the game so we stayed in the booth with Daddy. Alex was pretty chill, as you can tell from his picture this week. The next day he was as good as new!!

Anyway, let's get to the good stuff. . . Alex weighs in at 17 lbs 5oz (90th percentile) and is 26 1/2" long (90-95th percentile). His head was 43.2 cm (75th percentile). He is growing up to be such a big boy. He can start eating cereal now. I bought some but haven't started him on it yet. We'll let you know when that happens though!

All in all we have a very healthy and happy baby. Hopefully we won't have to head back to the Dr. until December for his 6th month check-up and vaccinations!
