Today we went for James Bradford's 4 Month Dr. Appointment. I was so excited about going and seeing how much he had grown since his 2 Month Appointment. Sure enough he has grown (as if we had doubted!!)James Bradford weighed in today at 16 lbs 4 oz!! (75% percentile) and measured 25.5 inches long (75% percentile).
He had a great checkup! Dr. Wilson said he looks great and seems to be doing well.
I was so proud to be able to tell her that he is sleeping through the night and that he is still nursing. Although the nursing has gotten harder. Unfortunately he seems to prefer the bottle most feedings.
She said we could start him on rice cereal and baby food at any time we want now. But we have decided to wait a little bit longer.
It broke Mommy and Daddy's heart when he had to get his vaccines today. He was not very happy. He cried - he cried hard, and it made mommy want to cry! When we got home he got a bottle and some Tylenol. He fell asleep in his mamas arms. Instead of moving him after a rough morning, I decided we would take a nap together. He slept for about an hour - and I even slept some!
We were so proud of our super star patient. I still cant believe how fast these first 4 months have flown!
He is getting so big, and he's so cute! As far as the nursing goes- keep at it, Liam went through a phase where he took a bottle often (I don't know if his tummy was bothering him and it was just easier or what, but I kept nursing him when he would, and now he's back to nursing almost all the time). You are doing such a good job, Anne. We're still praying for your recovery and all.
