4 MONTH CHECKUP

Status Report: Liam went in for his four month visit yesterday and weighed in at 16 lbs 10 ounces with diaper on. Length, not height, was just shy of 25 inches and head circumference was 43 cm. Why we switch to the metric system when measuring the skull, I do not know buy I will research that today. Liam must have been looking very cute yesterday because he was referred to as 'she' by three different people. Of course at the end of the visit it was time for immunizations. The first was given orally and may have been actually been the worst for him. The look on his face was the same one that Mom gives after she opens up a full diaper. Next up were three shots in a row. First shot... no reaction! Second shot... a slight squirm. Third shot... OK, we are crying now, however that only lasted for about 15 seconds. Quite a tough showing and it was rewarded with silver sparkly band-aid. After all of those injections he got home and went directly to sleep for two hours, which got me to thinking, can't we give these shots at about 9pm when it's bedtime?
