We took Darryl in for his 4 month appointment yesterday! It was so amazing to see the difference in his size and behavior at this appointment compared to his 2 month appointment! At his 2 month appointment, he would lay on the table so still and quiet. At this appointment, we couldn't get him to hold still! He kept trying to roll over and move all around and laughed the whole time!
We went in to get him weighed, and as we were walking through the office all the nurses would stop what they were doing and come talk and play with him. He loved the attention and smiled the whole time. We took his diaper off, laid him on the scale, and he weighed 12 pounds 12 ounces! Well...he weighed that for about two seconds before he proceeded to arc some pee over his head and onto the floor. Then he weighed 12 pds 11 oz :) The nurses just laughed, apparantly its a common occurance...
When we got him measured he is 25 inches tall. Dr. Willie examined him and Darryl just started at him and smiled the whole time (he loves his Willie!). Then we got the green light to start baby food! We had already been feeding him cereal and he was doing really well with that, so we got to start throwing some carrot baby food in. He has been doing really great! Today we got to change his schedule from eating every 3 hours to eating every 4 hours. He did so great! He napped better and he was much happier during the day. He finally got some good food in his tummy!
So now we feed him at 8 a.m., 12 p.m., 4 p.m., and then a bottle at bedtime which is 8 p.m. (considering he had been eating at 8, 11, 2, 5, 7:15, and 9 p.m., today seemed easy!).
We'll see how the rest of the week goes!
