4 Month Checkup

Nolan had his 4 month checkup on Thursday and everything went very well. Dr. England said his head looked great which is a relief because we only want Nolan to wear a helmet when he starts riding a bike and playing sports not to put his head into position. He weighed in at 16 lbs., which is in the 75th percentile. As for height, we have a tall boy at 26 inches, in the 90th percentile.

The doctor told us to start water and juice and we started water today after Nolan had some cereal. When the bottle went into his mouth, he started right away, until he realized at about sip number 5 that it was water and the crying commenced.

On a sad note, I had to hold Nolan for his shots, but Nolan was a trooper. He only cried for about 30 seconds. He did spend the rest of the night with a little fever and he threw up a couple times, but now all is good. It really is very assuring that we have a healthy boy, something that we never take for granted!
