4 Month old Check Up

       Our little love went for his four month old check up yesterday afternoon. He gave all the ladies smiles and even showed them how he could roll from one side to the other. He also made sure to lay on his tummy and put as much of the paper on the doctor's table in his mouth as possible.

Drum Roll Please......... and the boy weighs....................

14 lbs 8 oz !!!!!!

We have doubled our birth weight as a perfect four month old should!!

We all know we don't want a re-occurance of Polio, but if we could avoid those vaccines we would!! Silas actually managed the shots themselves MUCH better this time. It wasn't until about 2am that the little fever kicked in from all of that instigation of his immune system.  He had a hard time sleeping last night and this morning was a mix of emotions. Once we got some Advil on board he was good to go. Note to self: pre-game a freshly vaccinated baby with Advil if at all possible!

Developmentally, Silas is doing great. He turns his head every direction he can and has started holding himself up a little bit when placed in seats so we pulled out the Bumbo seat, donated kindly by our friend Kelly!

He enjoyed it even though he couldn't maintain himself entirely upright. Practice makes perfect.
