Max’s 4 Month Check Up

Max and his parents made it through his 4 month doctor appointment. The hardest part is always at the very end when the nurse sticks two needles in one thigh and one in the other. Max only cried a bit and was instantly focused on feeding from Mom.

Status: Max is healthy and happy (big) boy. He measured 28.25 inches long and weighed just over 19 lbs. His weight is in the 97th percentile and  height was above the top line on the chart (so we assume that means pretty darn tall)

He has been cleared to begin eating baby solids, starting with vegetables, as he has been doing well the past few weeks with small meals of rice cereal mixed with milk or formula. We aren’t sure when we will begin feeding him carrots, sqaush and other fun things, but we are excited even to think about it. Our Dr also told us that she would consider Max to be officially “sitting up” because, while leaning forward over his legs, he can balance for brief periods of time before swaying to one side or the other.

Here’s Max not too long before the visit:
