We had Wesley's four month check up and shots today, and so we started early. I love our doctor because our appointment was at 10, but we got there shortly after 9:30, and they took us back immediately. We were done before our appointment time. The doctor said he is doing amazing- everything looks good, and he is hitting his milestones amazingly fast. She said all of his motor skills are advanced, and she thinks he will be crawling by his six month appointment. Also, the tubes look really great, and are keeping his ears nice and clear. Dr. Diedrichsen also gave us the okay to feed him solids, but on whatever schedule we want. She said we don't have to do it now, but she thinks he'll be wanting some sort of solids routinely by 6 months. We give him solids probably 3 times a week with dinner, but nothing consistent yet.
Wesley is weighing in at 15 pounds 4 ounces (In the 50th percentile) And 24 1/4 inches tall (Only 25th percentile there.) But that is the same ratio he has been in since his 2 week appointment.
He took his shots really well (Got three) and napped great when we got home. He has been a bit fussier this evening, but he might just be tired from it all.
The only thing the doctor mentioned was that I need to stop nursing the baby to sleep, and let him fall asleep on his own. Easier said than done!!!
All in all, busy and productive day!
