4 Month Checkup and Shots

I took Garrett in for his 4 month checkup and shots this morning. I can't believe he's 4 months already! He's getting too big, too fast! He did really well up until the 3 humungous shots they gave him. This is where his big thunder thighs come in handy! I'm so glad I have a chunky baby. He only screamed for about 5 minutes and then was just fine. On the way home is another story.....

Garrett's Stats at 4 months:

Height: 25 inches 50%

Weight: 17 lbs. 85%

Head: 16.5 inches Normal Range

The doctor said that I could start giving him rice cereal if I wanted to and also within the next month start him on some vegetables. Overall, he said that Garrett is growing and doing fine and he also gave me some tips on what to do to get Garrett to sleep through the night. I'll definately try the techniques but we'll see how effective they are.

Garrett is almost rolling over. He can get his upper body going but I have to help him the rest of the way. Slowly but surely....

He is also holding his head up very well. When I put him on his tummy he can lift up his entire upper body with his arms. I don't know if all babies can do that at 4 months but I'm impressed! I'm so glad he's growing normally and healthy. He won't go back for another checkup until he's 6 months but it'll come all too soon....
