4 months!?


My goodness where has the time gone??

Dean and I went to his four month check up on Wednesday, his exact four month mark. I scheduled with a different doctor this time because I didn't really like the first one. She was very nice, an older woman, but I just felt like she has been doing this for too long. She would never offer up any information unless I specifically asked, (which I don't know the right things to ask) and she would forget and check his ear again and ask me if she already did them. So when I met with the lactation consultant, who I got along well with, I asked her opinion on a Dr whom I might like. She suggested Dr Johnson so that's who I tried. Anyway, I really like her!! She was so sweet, a little younger and has a lot of the same opinions as me. And! She confirmed he is teething! She said because he is advanced in other milestones, its most likely that he started feeling the teething sensation as early as 2-2 1/2 months, which is when all his nursing issues began!! I felt sooo relieved to have an answer!! And I love that she came to me with that info, rather than me asking. She said her first daughter didn't break her teeth until 16 months!! And the top ones came first! In the meantime, poor little girl, she was teething that whole time!! So its nice to know its not the same for every baby (although I know that) and it is in fact possible for him to have started teething that early!
Anyway, his measurements are great. Weight had tapered off to middle of the chart, maybe like 60-70%. His length was like 90% and his head! 99% hahaha. Maybe I'm blinded by love but I don't feel like he has a big head! Haha. He's just perfect and healthy!!
He got his shots but did so so well! The nurse was shocked out how quickly he stopped crying. He did seem to be in pain later so I gave him a little medicine and he did much better. So much better that we were able to escape the 97 degree heat and go to souplantation to cool down!! Haha.
So grateful to be his mama and that he's doing well!
Here is the collage of pictures I took, sorry I know I already posted them on fb and ig.
