Thomas at Four Months

Today was Thomas's four month pediatrician check-up with Dr Atiyeh, and he is not fairing well with this second batch of shots. Poor little guy was in such great spirits when we got into the Docs office but oh boy did he scream when he gots his shots. It has to be one of the most awful things we do to children. At least they cant remember it when they are still this small.

As of today, here are Thomas's stats:

Weight: 18lbs 10z (95th percentile)

Height: 27 inches (95th percentile)

So he measures perfectly for his height weight combination meaning....HE IS NOT CHUBBY. he is perfect!

Hehehe.

The pediatrician said we can start increasing the amount of solids he is getting and we can start introducing him to all different sorts of things slowly!

After seeing Thomas' teeth and how well he is standing and rolling, Dr. Atiyeh joked if we were sure Thomas was only four months! Hahah.

On a little bit more somber note, Dr. Atiyeh still detected a slight heart murmur in Thomas's chest for which he recommended we take him to see a pediatric cardiologist next week. So we have that appt on Tuesday. Please keep your fingers crossed that it turns out to be nothing- he is so healthy otherwise and the doc did say quite alot of babies have this when they are small and then it goes away. We will keep you posted on what happens.

Here are some cute 4 month shots of Thomas.
