4 Month Check Up!

Tyler had his four month check up today and all is well. Here are his numbers and how he's doing based on the norms.

  • 25 1/2 inches long (75th-90th Percentile)
  • Head Circumference 17 inches (50th-75th Percentile)
  • Weight 18 lbs 11.5 oz!!!! (>97th Percentile... off the charts!)
  • Weight for length 90-95th Percentile

Obviously he's a chunk! The doctor said that he was ready for solids and to start giving him veggies and then fruits. He asked if he was rolling, grabbing for objects, looking at people when they walk around, and turning towards noises and voices. We told him that he was doing all of the above and discussed a couple other things. Tyler got three shots this time and he cried a for a few minutes, but was laughing by the time we got in the car. The shots are the same ones that he got at his last appointment. He did fine with them last time, so he will hopefully do just as well with this round.On our way to the doctor, check out his spiked hair!
(his cheeks aren't normally that shiny... I put some vaseline on them because he's been a drool monster and his cheeks were a little bit chapped.)


He handled the shots like a big boy, while I sat in the corner and tried not to look!


Took this while Josh and Tyler were playing last night

Wow! He's such a big boy now. i had to look it up how much Charlotte weighed then, comparatively at 4months old she was B-I-G then and was only 15lbs. 9.5 ozs. (90th percentile ). So that's hilarious, he's 18lbs.! Well... it's just baby fat, and that's cute ;)
