4 Month Check Up

Right after having his toe pricked
Interested in the band-aid
Waiting for the check-up

Happy - right before the shots!
After the shots!

Reese slept for about 2.5 hours after his appointment - it wore him out.


Yesterday we took Reese to the doctor to have his check up which of course meant shots! Reese now weighs 14 lbs. 10.5 oz. and 24.75 inches long (like John says he is almost half as tall as Nonna) - both in the 50 percentile which is great! The doctor made sure he is doing everything that a 4 month old should be and he is! We were told we could start rice cereal (see pictures above) but to hold off on fruits and vegetables until he is 6 months to prevent food allergies. Reese didn't make a peep when his toe was pricked and was very interested in the colorful band-aid the nurse put on his toe. He laid their at first when he got the shots and we didn't think he was going to cry but the tears came when the 2nd shot went in. It's so tough to see a baby so happy and then in a second be so upset. The doctor said Reese is as healthy as can be and developing just like he should be!
