4 month check up

Today Joshua had his 4 month check up. He's doing wonderful. He really put on a show for the doctor and the nurses. He smile, laughed, “talked” and reached out and grabbed anything he could get a hold of. I think he liked having a new audience. The doctor said Joshua is doing great developmentally and physically.


Joshua’s measurements are: 15.1 pounds (I don’t think this is accurate – his appointment got pushed back because of an emergency in the office so he had just had a 6 ounce bottle right before he got weighed). He’s 25 inches long & his head is 43.5. His height & weight are in the 50th percentile and he’s head is in the 75th. ~At 2 months he was 11.11 pounds & 23.5 inches long~ Looks like he’s going into his head size ~ at 2 months his was in the 90th percentile.

JCS got 3 shots today ~mommy was on her own with him & doesn’t like shots herself~ but he did great! Cried when he got the shots, but was happy once I picked him up & he had green bear.

The doctor gave us the go ahead to start cereal whenever we’d like to. We aren’t in a big rush to start. She said by his 6 month appointment (his next appointment) he should be eating yellow veggies & soft fruits.

We have an amazing little boy that we are so blessed to have. We are so thankful that he is happy and healthy!!
