Owen's appointment was today, he turned 4 months last weekend. The good: He's 18lbs 10oz (95th percentile), 27 inches (97th percentile), and his head is the 96th percentile. He loves to be naked, really started laughing this week, babbles non-stop, and is generally very happy.
The bad: He's going to hit the height restriction on his carseat in 3 inches. He grew 3 inches in the last 2 months. Guess what he's getting for Christmas. He isn't rolling yet but I'm not worried and neither is the doctor.
The ugly: he did a great job with the shots, he really only complained. Then we got home and he howled like he hasn't maybe since he was born. Hopefully tonight goes okay. I'm planning to push the crib at night this weekend. I have Monday off so I can handle less sleeping? Dnw to lose my precious sleep for this. Maybe the shot comatose will make him magically know how to self soothe?

Our 4 mo. appointment wasn't till yesterday.
The good: shots were a breeze, only wintered slightly for second as it was the burning one and stopped once picked up. Plus he's staying ahead developmentally so far.
The bad: no weight gain - still at 10lb 9oz and height is starting to drop from 99th percentile to 20th. We've been told to start solids, weight check and no progress equals back to GI.
Other: he's starting to pull himself up to standing from sitting using our hands or clothing for leverage and sleeping through the night daily.
My little July 4th baby turned four months yesterday.
The good: He's very healthy and the nurse said he looked great. He tolerated the vaccines well and he's currently sleeping from about 8pm-5 or 6am. He sometimes wakes up for a bottle but often sleep right through. He was seen today by pediatric physiotherapists and they said that even though he has a bit of a flat spot on his head it's very very minor and most likely will correct itself so just to keep working on tummy time, etc.
The bad: while he's gaining weight it's still slow...but the nurse said her scale might be wrong. WTF? What's the point of a weigh in if the scale could be off that much? We're going back in two weeks to double check the weight.
The ugly: Nothing really. A lot of drool lately so I'm hoping that's not a sign of teething.
