Check-up with Dr. E

Seth had his 4 month check-up with Dr. E this morning and everything looks great! Dr. E was pleased with how alert he is and Seth proceeded to roll over for Dr. E and show off his amazing flexibility by chewing on his toes.

He got 4 shots today and received an oral vaccine as well. He did amazing with the shots - only cried long enough for Daddy to pick him up and did not cry the rest of the day!!

Weight: 12 pounds 3 ounces --- 10th percentile (actually he is a little below the 10th)
Height: 24 3/4 inches --- 50th percentile

I was a little concerned about the weight, but Dr. E showed us the growth curve and he is staying consistent on the curve - it appears that we have a skinny little monkey on our hands, so Dr. E gave us the go ahead on all foods and juices is we want to add calories, but said not to worry at all unless he stops eating. He noticed how much Seth moves and said it would be difficult to get him to gain weight because he is in constant motion. As long as he continues to gain any weight, Dr. E is happy!!!

Seth had met all the developmental milestones and we will see him again at 6 months!
