Our BIG boy!

We had Owen's 4 month appointment today and he is doing GREAT!! We saw another Dr in the practice and were NOT impressed with her, so we will go back to our current Pediatrician next time. He isn't completely supportive of our decisions regarding vaccinations but he said he would do what we wanted, so I guess that is what we will go with for now.

Owen weighs 17.6 pounds (90th percentile) and is 26 inches long (80th percentile). He got the DTaP vaccine and didn't even cry! What a good baby! Given that he is so big, we were told that it was ok to give him more solids but we are going to only sporadically give them to him until he is 6 months old. He is ahead in most developmental things such as rolling over, getting two bottom teeth (they are really pushing up his gums but they just *won't* break through), getting on his knees to try and crawl and being able to sit up fairly well. He still wakes up all the time at night but I am not sure if that is from his Reflux or if he is just following in Emma's footsteps.

Anyway, he is such a beautiful, happy and sweet baby boy!
