Doctor's appointment

John Dickson went for his 4 month checkup today. We were SHOCKED when the doctor said we had not been feeding him enough. He measured 26 1/2 inches long. Because he was so long, Dr Greene thought he may have gotten measured a little longer than he really is, but she says that every time... His length was in the 90th percentile, with his weight only in the 50th. The little monkey only weighed in at 15 lbs 6 oz, less than a 2 lb increase from his appointment 2 months ago. I feel awful! If he's gone hungry, he sure hasn't acted it!

John Dickson kept interrupting Dr. Greene with all of his squeals and laughter...(the room has a wall sized mirror in it - it was heaven). It made it all the worse when those 4 shots came. John Dickson screamed so hard he was choking. As much as John Dickson loves his baby Tylenol, he might even would do it all over again just for a taste of the pink stuff :-) Next time Adam gets shot duty.

Otherwise, everything went well, and after his next checkup (6 months) he'll be starting solids and be introduced to a cup. Expect many, many pictures...
