4 month check-up

March 25, 2008 on 1:26 pm | In Checkups | Comments Off

Tyler went today for his 4 month checkup and vaccinations. He received the same vaccines that he received at 2 months. He cried a little bit more this time and actually bled a little bit. I didn’t see any blood last time- yet maybe the previous nurse was just quicker with the band-aid. Tyler is doing great, however they say he is the size of the average 6 month old. Speaking of which, he now:

weighs 16lbs 11.5oz (76 %)
is 26 1/2 inches (89%) tall
and his head circumference is 17 inches (68%).

Now that Tyler is over 14 lbs we have started feeding him solid foods. We started with some rice cereal last week. Tyler actually did pretty well, most of it went in his mouth and he swallowed it. However, we did capture this moment with the cereal on his lips, cheeks, and shirt. We now wear a bib while eating.

In a few days we will start giving him some veggies and see how he does with those. Tyler is definitely growing up, and quick. Keep checking back for updates.

4 months old celebrated with a little flying!

Tyler turned 4 months old last Sunday. To celebrate we took our first family flight in N622JP to visit Grandma and Papa Painter. Tyler did very well. We bought him a child size headset, put a pacifier in his mouth and off we went. He was sleeping the entire way there and back. See the picture:

Here is a picture of Mom and Tyler gearing up for the flight. Our airplane is very comfortable so holding Tyler the entire way wasn’t too bad.

Here is the same picture pose we have taken since he was born- sitting on the arm of the recliner to show his growth. And yes his belly grew He is longer too I think. We are estimating that he weighs 16lbs or so. We don’t go to his 4 month doctor appointment until the 25th so we have to wait a week longer for the official weigh in.
