Parker & Leila

4 Months Old

Parker had his 4 month checkup on Tuesday.  He got two shots and he did a lot better then i thought he would.  He didn't cry with the first one but then he cried with the second because that's the one that burns.  He only cried for a few seconds and then he was fine.  He was such a good boy!  He was a little fussy later that day because i'm sure his leg was sore.  His head felt a little warm so we gave him baby tylenol.  He did great sleeping through the night - a lot better than his 2 month old shots!  Here's a picture of him after his shots - look how cute his bandaids are!

 





















Here are some 4 month old stats:

- weighs exactly 12 lbs (5th percentile)

- lenght is 23.5 inches (5th percentile)

- head circumference (50th percentile)

- when he is on his back he brings his hands together to put them in his mouth or to hold a toy
- he reaches for toys on his back and when sitting up

- brings his legs up and rolls onto his side

- he loves standing on his legs (with help)

- wiggles out of bouncy chair

- turns in circle while on his back

- found his voice and loves to use it

Parker's 1st Christmas

White Christmas

A Visit From Santa

On Sunday, Pete's dad dressed up as Santa for Leila and Parker.  He looked great in the santa outfit and we got some good pictures!

Doctor's Visits

Parker went to the doctor's twice this month.  He had a cold so I brought him in to get checked out and luckily he didn't have any infections (ear,sinus,or throat).  He weighed 11lbs, 5oz!  His cold lastest two weeks with many sleepless nights. :(  Between his stuffed up nose and coughing, he was up some nights every hour!  His cold finally went away but he was still not sleeping good and not eating good so I took him to the doctor's again.  It looks like he might have reflux so we got some medicine to see if that will help.  At his 2nd appt on Monday he weighed 11lbs, 14oz.  He is just about double his birth weight!  Next week he has his 4 month check up - can't wait to see what he weighs then!
