4 month check up

We had Connor's 4 month well check this morning.  He got two shots and drank another immunization.  He only cried for a few minutes!  The doctor says he is healthy and doing fantastic!

He weighs 12 and a half pounds, which puts him in the 5th percentile.  His height was 24.5 inches in the 25th percentile, and his head circumference was also in the 5th percentile.

We have been approved to start on rice cereal until he is 5 months old, in which case he wants us to move on to yellow veggies.

Connor is learning to hold his own bottle! Of course, I still have to help him when it falls, but he is growing up so fast right before my eyes!

He Rolled Over!

Last night was our first night to just let Connor cry himself to sleep, with us checking on him often, of course. About an hour into his fit, he got so mad, he swung himself over onto his tummy. Joe and I couldn't figure out if it was a fluke or not, but this morning he did it two or three times in the living room. So, he can officially roll over! Yay!

Connor cried off and on from 12:30-3:30 with either Joe or me laying next to him. He finally went to sleep sprawled out on his belly and it was the cutest thing ever! Hopefully tonight is a little less time. The nurse at the pediatrician's office said it would take about 3-4 nights for him to figure out that we aren't going to pick him up every night so that he'll just sleep. Pray that is the case!

Connor Playing With His Rainforest

Here is a video of Connor playing on his rainforest. He's starting to actually grab his toys.

Temperature

Connor woke up this morning at 3:30 with his first temperature - 102. We gave him some Tylenol and a couple hours later it had dropped to 100.9. Before I left for work we had it down to the 98/99 range. Nurse says it sounds like he is fighting a virus. Poor kid! Joe stayed home with him today.

Con Man Update

So we've switched to soy formula because Connor broke out when he had the regular. Don't know the cause, but he's done it twice from my milk as well and I can't figure out the common factor. We've had to use more formula lately because he is eating so much and I just can't keep up!

We went for a weight check on April 3. He was 10 lb 10 ounces. He's slowly gaining. Hopefully he'll grow into his 3-6 month clothes soon since he'll be 3 months old in two days! I can't believe how old my little guy is getting to be!

We've now experienced our first few giggles and he is just as happy as can be...most of the time. He still acts as if he's dying if he doesn't get food right when he wants it.

Joe, can you think of anything else to add about our cool kid?

Happy Connor
