Jackson's 4 month checkup- 4/23/09

So this morning Chris and I took Jackson to his 4 month checkup at the pediatrician's. He weighs a whopping 16.9 lbs and is 25 1/4 inches long! He is in the 90th percentile for weight and the 60th percentile for height. I was happy about the height part especially, because at his 2 month check up he was measuring on the short side! LoL but that's okay if he's short like his mommy! :) The shots weren't as bad this time around compared to last, but he is extrememly fussy this afternoon from them. He had some tylenol, nursed, and conked out! Everyone says the shots are harder on the parents than the babies, but my heart still broke for him! OH and very exciting news- he has two teeth buds about to pop through!

All in all the doctor says he is perfect and healthy! She was very impressed with him. He can roll over, hold toys, reach for things, laugh out loud, smiles all the time, and FINALLY is sleeping in his own crib. (I had trouble with that, not him) He still wakes up at least once a night to nurse but its not that bad.

Four months later, Chris and I are also doing well! We have settled into parenthood quite nicely. Work is going well (thank God) for Chris, and I am loving staying at home and watching Jackson grow. Jay and Corona have also adjusted well to having another person in the house. They are very protective of Jackson and follow him everywhere! I am so proud of our baby boy. Everyone was right- the time does FLY by!!!

Until next time.......
Love, the Turners
