4 Month Check Up!

Dear Henry,

It was time for your 4 month check up and shots. YEP! 4 months. I know! It is hard to believe! So, here is your Health o meter photo and some cute ones on the crinkly paper. You weighed in at 14lbs 10oz and measured 24". Mommy thinks you're really 24.5" but we will go with the "official" record. You performed for the doctor like a trained seal. You were laying on the table with Gorrilli out in front of you. When Dr. S. asked if you're reaching for toys I started to answer but you reached out for Gorrilli. Dr. S. said, "That's a yes!" Then when he asked about your other motor skills you flipped over from your back to your stomach with skill and style. He couldn't hide that he was impressed. We spoke about all of your vocal gymnastics and your teeth that have dropped into your gums. No pearly whites have yet to peek out but Mommy checks frequently. I rub some orajel on those suckers and give you some teething tablets but some times you just whimper. I hope that it happens quickly so you don't have to go through lots of pain for a long period of time. You did well with the shots this time. You do your 20 second howl that reduces to a whine and by that time Mama swaddles you up you're all calm again. You're a tough lil' dude.


Seven minutes later in the van... You are the come back kid! I love seeing you happy.

Love, Mama
