four month sticker

Mason,

You're four months old--that's a third of a year!

You're growing like crazy. At your four-month checkup, you weighed 16 pounds, three ounces, which fell in the 75th-90th percentile range. Your height has shot up. The nurse measured you at 26.5 inches, which means you've grown three inches in two months. You're now at the 95th percentile for height. Maybe you will end up being tall like Uncle Luke!

Except for some minor skin issues, you checked out just fine at your appointment. You are big and healthy. And because you're so big and healthy, the doctor wants us to hold off starting solids with you for another two months. You still watch every bite we take and beg for scraps on occasion; holding you off may be tough, so it's a good thing you like your mama's milk.

You did a great job with your second round of vaccinations. Again, you slurped down the oral vaccine. After the first shot, you were so bold as to laugh in the nurse's face. The nurse shot you again, with a bigger needle this time, and you howled and needed your mama. Be careful, Sweetie. Cockiness will always catch up to you.

Happy four months, Mason. Daddy and I love you!

XOXO,

Mommy
