He did fabulously. Everyone keeps saying he is a big baby but today's appointment proved that he is right on track. He is now 25 1/2 inches long which is in the 70th percentile, he weighs 14 lbs. 4 ounces, which is in the 45th percentile and his head is 42 1/2 cm around, which is in the 55th percentile. Dr. Connie said he has perfect skin which is somewhat rare at this age and over all looked great.
He does have a tight muscle in his neck which causes him to favor the left side which in turn is causing the left side of his head to get a little flat. So because of that she wants us to do some stretches with him and come back in a month to see if that has loosened him up. It it hasn't then we will have to take him to physical therapy. So let's hope the stretches work.
He did have to get some more vaccinations. He got one oral one and 2 shots. He cried of course but only for a few seconds. It was his nap time so he was already in a fussy mood before he got the shots but the moment I put him in his car seat he fell asleep.
An exciting thing that happened was we got the OK to start cereal and baby food. I tried to give him a little cereal yesterday but he was so fussy from his shots that he wasn't interested in trying it and just wanted to be held. Dr. Connie said if he does well with the cereal then after about a week we can introduce other things. However, we are only supposed to do one new thing a week so that if he has a reaction to something we will know what it is.
We are thankful to have gotten another good report and just hope we can get his little neck stretched out.
4 month pictures tomorrow :D
