Four Month Check Up

Harrison's four month check up went really well. He really enjoyed the exam table, the extended naked time and the mirror in the exam room. He had to get more shots but he didn't seem too bothered by the whole experience. Truthfully he fussed more about having to put his clothes back on. Silly little boy!

The doctor and I talked a lot about feeding since he will start on solids this month (we are going to try to start solids tomorrow night - Sam wants to be there to see the experience). We also talked some about Harrison's spitting up and gas. Based on a few baby books, I was thinking that he might have acid reflux. Dr. Miller agreed that it might be a problem so we are going to try giving him Prevacid. Hopefully it will help cut down on the spitting up and his discomfort.

Here are the stats:
Weight: 17 lb 6 oz (90 - 95%)
Height: 26 in (75 - 90%)
Head: 44 cm (75 - 90%)

He is still a big boy!

Sam was really sweet and (unexpectedly) joined us at the doctor's appointment. It was really nice to have him there with me for moral support and baby assistance :-)

Harrison has been sleeping since his appointment at 10:10. All the stress of the outing along with the shots really wore him out!
