Four Month Apt?


Xander just had his four month apt, even though he is almost five months old.  He turns five months old on June 10th and had his appointment today, June 1st.  What do you do?  The Dr couldn't get us in sooner.  Regardless, here are his stats:

13.5 lbs
26 inches long
45% Head
25% Weight
60% Height
So he is still a little low on the weight, but higher than average on the height, so tall and skinny.  And his head isn't that big comparatively.  He is just growing like a weed.  I snapped the above photo on my phone, so it isn't the greatest quality, but he was so cute playing with his froggy in the crib, I couldn't help myself.  He's getting so that he can actually entertain himself for a few minutes at a time at least.  We feel very lucky.  He sleeps through the night mostly.  He goes down about 9-10 pm and gets up one time for a bottle at about 4-5 am and then sleeps again at least until 7:30, sometimes later.  He is a good sleeper.  He also takes at least one nap during the day.  He laughs a lot and is a lot of fun to tickle.  He is getting his own little personality and it really getting to be fun.  He can't sit up yet, and he can't roll from his back to his stomach yet, but he is close.  We will keep working with him.  He is a very happy baby and generally in a good mood.  He really is a joy!!
