4 month check up

Caleb had his 4 month check up this morning, and he did so good! He was talking and squealing the whole time his doctor was looking him over, she got a kick out of that! He is right on target with all the milestones, which make me feel so good. I was a little off on my weight and length predictions.



Caleb at 4 Months
13 lbs 10 oz (24th percentile)
23.75 inches long (11th percentile)
His head is in the 81st percentile




I had a few questions for his doctor, one about his eyes. I've noticed lately that one eye will cross while the other stays looking forward. His doctor didn't seem too concerned, saying he will eventually grow out of it, but for peace of mind recommended us to see a pediatric ophthalmologist. We will see that doctor this Thursday. I'm hoping it's nothing serious and doesn't require surgery...this little guy has already been through so much!

His doctor said we can start feeding him rice cereal between now and 6 months, but because he had pyloric stenosis she is a little cautious and said to start him on the cereal closer to 5-6 months. She also said we can try to give him the milk based formula, but if we are happy (and he is happy) with the nutramigen then we can continue using it. We decided to keep using the expensive stuff for a little while longer. The side effects were too gross and he just recently got over them!

He's still a little dude with a big head haha. He did so well during the shots, only cried for 2 seconds and stopped when I picked him up. I fed him soon after and he went right to sleep.

We are so proud of our little guy! His next visit will be his 6 month check up. I can't believe he will be half a year old in just 2 months! He is growing up too fast. Way too fast.
