Four Month Check-up

Beckett is growing and growing! We had our four month appointment a little later than anticipated due to the blizzard that hit Amarillo.

It was another great visit! Beckett is a tiny guy which we knew going in. He was 11 pounds 15 ounces and 24 3/4 inches long. That put him in the 5th percentile for weight and 65th for height. His head measured 15 3/4 inches which is also in the 5th percentile. The child has a peanut head.

Our doctor talked us about starting food. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this topic. Some people say to wait until they are 6 months to decrease the amount of allergies. Some people say don't wait to delay high allergen foods. There are lots of opinions out there. Our doctor said to go ahead and start when he has good head control. She also thought that the extra calories might help him gain some more weight since he is so tiny (even though he seems huge to us).

Beckett also got more shots. Boo! He did get one less shot than last time which was nice. What was not nice was the fact that his feeling were so much more hurt by the shots. He was much more upset and took a long time to calm down. I have a feeling it's only going to get worse.

We go back for another check up in May. Fingers crossed he keeps up the good work!
