Jacob had his 4 month check-up today and as indicated by Dr. Scheff he is quote "off the charts" in both height and weight. He measures at 27 and 3/4 inches and weights in at 19.8 lbs-- proportionally distributed. Dr. Scheff says that he is in the 99 percentile as compared to other babies his age. He is a strong and energetic little guy! The doc also gave us the go ahead to giving him real food. We might wait a month before proceeding because of a number of reasons. One being the potential for allergies. Also, he is growing just fine as is. Plus, we want to do it at home in his sparkling new highchair (thank you auntie Kristin), clean bib, and video camera in hand.
Jacob also got vaccinated and basically that ruined the rest of the day. He was crying a lot and needed extra cuddles and a dose of Tylenol for pain. It took a tool on mommy as well. After a long walk, both of us snuggled and snoozed away late afternoon, follwed by another walk with daddy, and playtime with grandpa.
