If you can believe it, Cameron is already 4 and a half months old! Man, how time flies!! We just had our 4 month check-up with the pediatrician....and things are looking GREAT!! He weighed in at 18.5 lbs. and measured almost 28 inches, both in the 95 percentile!! In case you were wondering, that equals 9 and 12 month size clothing.....goodness gracious!! Anyway, everything else went as planned. He had his 4 month shots, which seemed a little more tramatic than the 2 month shots...although it was the same number and type of shots. He gave a much more dramatic and painful reaction this time & it took us a little longer to calm him down. However, just as with anything...he bounced right back to his happy self within the hour.
On the other hand, he's had a fever on and off for the past few days. We're not sure if it's related to the shots, if he's fighting off a cold, or if he is starting to teethe? I guess only time will tell......
Onto more exciting news:
The pediatrician also gave us the green light to start baby foods with him! YAY! However, because, his face is still recovering from a bad breakout of eczema, we're going to wait until we get that completely cleared up before we start foods...just so we can clearly detect any food allergies. Look for upcoming pictures of Cameron's adventures into the world of yummy food. We can tell he is ready and wants food. He watches EVERYTHING that goes into our mouths during dinner and often takes it upon himself to reach over and grab anything in sight.......taking it directly to his mouth. Just one example is this evening during dinner, he went after a strawberry and licked it all over while trying to take a bite! SILLY BOY! :)
I'm still trying to figure out how to download pictures from my new camera, so I'll post updated 4 month pictures, pictures of Christmas, and pictures of Cameron playing with all his new toys this weekend.
Until next time.....
