4 month appt

We had our first appointment at the new doctor yesterday. Things went well. Ethan weighs 11 lbs 13 oz and is 24 inches long. He is only in the 5th percentile for weight and the 25th for his height. This was the first time he got weighed without his diaper so I am thinking he has been in the low percentile the whole time. I'm happy with his weight gain. It's almost 3 lbs in 2 months. He did great with his shots. Norm held him and he cried. My poor baby. The doctor wants me to let him cry it out to fall asleep. I don't believe in that so we will continue doing it our way. It's been working for the past 2 weeks. He is reaching all of his milestones and has good head control. We go back in 2 months for another round of shots.

4 months

Ethan turns 4 months today! It is going so quickly. He has changed so much in the 4 months but especially in the last month. He is now reaching for toys and everything is going in his mouth. It's so cute when he gets excited. We bought him an exersaucer and he is way too little for it but we still put him in it with a blanket for support. He loves it and is reaching to play with the toys. We finally moved him to his crib and it's working out well. I am putting him to bed at 8:45 and he sleeps until 3 and I get up and feed him then he sleeps until around 6. Tomorrow we are going for his next set of shots and wellness check at the new doctor. I hope he has the same reaction as his 2 month shots. He did so well
In other exciting news. Lillian Marie was born on June 6 at 4:03 am. She is just a little peanut. She was 6lbs 3 oz and 19 inches. Erin was 38 weeks 3 days when she had her. They are home now and doing great. We won't be going to Pittsburgh until the end of June.
