4 month appointment

Today was A's 4 month appointment. After I asked the doctor a bajillion and one questions (flu shots, h1n1, solids etc.), the little dude got his 4 month shots.

He did SO well. After the 1st one, he cried for literally 2 seconds, and then the second one went in and he looked at me like "is that all you got? Bring it on!" Oh, my brave little boy. :)

4 month stats: 27 inches long (21 at birth)
16 lbs (8lbs 9oz at birth).

So not only has he grown 6 inches, he's doubled his birthweight. No wonder my freaking back is a mess. And it's only going to get worse!

We're going to start cereal tomorrow. I would start today, but his little body has had enough foreign agents being inserted in it today.

The best news of all though, is that Dr.B listened to his heart. And he couldn't hear the murmur anymore! Woot! I just hope it's not a fluke and it has indeed grown over. We go back to the pediatrician in November and he'll have a listen then. If HE can't hear it, then we'll be sent for another echocardiogram to confirm it's grown over. Oh, please let it be grown over.

Anyway, now the fun part begins. Solid food. We're going to start with rice cereal. Then in 2 or 3 weeks we'll start on veggies. I'll be sure to capture every face contortion Little Dude does when trying foods for the first time. Should be HILARIOUS.
