Aiden had his 4 month doctor visit today. He is such a big guy! He weighed in at 20 lbs and is 27.5 inches long! He wasn’t as heavy as I expected, but definitely a solid kid. =) Nice thing is, his height and weight are now proportionate.
He was so funny- I was laughing so hard in our room because while we were waiting for the Doc he was laying on the table that’s covered in paper. Well, he kept moving his legs like he was running (he does this all the time), but with the table it was making a ton of noise because of the paper. Eventually, the paper became wrinkled and finally ripped. So, I fixed it nice again and he did it all over. So, I pulled the ripped area down and he finally just layed there for a minute. I look down and he had spit up ALL OVER the table, his blanket, himself. I couldnt help but just laugh! Man, kids keep you on your toes. Everything’s a joke these days. If you didnt laugh you’d lose your mind! So, anyway, I fix it all up again and he still was so into the paper that I had to just hold him. As I was taking him off the table to hold him, he held on the the piece of paper he managed to grab and ripped the whole thing right off. Pff. So much for keep my kid under control. Haha.
So, then the end came. And this is the part we dread. He had to get his shots. So, the nurse came and she asked me to hold his hands down. So, I am holding his hands (so cute) and he starts giggling. The nurse and I both felt so bad-. Poor guy- he’s laughing and has no idea what’s coming. But, to my surprise, he didn’t cry at all until all of the shots were done. And then, it was only for a second. Thats about what it took for them to pop the Rotarvirus vaccine in his mouth for him to gobble it down.
At this point we’ve been told that he should be getting a solid breakfast and dinner. UGH. Its hard enough to get him in the highchair once a day, but now TWICE and with cereal and fruit/veggies. And, what’s going to be even more difficult is the bottle- he’s only getting 2 8oz. bottles now (vs. 5) and the rest will be 4 oz. He’s doesnt like bottles being done. This should be fun =) But he does like his food.
