My Four-Month Appointment

Story told by: Brody

I had my four-month appointment today, and I’m BIG!

We started by taking my measurements. Here are my stats:

Height: 28 1/4 inches (100th percentile)…Both Lainey and Henry were 26 inches.

Weight: 21 pounds, 2 ounces (100th percentile)…Lainey was 16 pounds, 6 ounces, and Henry was 17 pounds, 14 ounces.

Head Circumference: 18 inches (100th percentile)…Lainey was 17 3/4 inches, and Henry was 17 1/2 inches.

I win. I win by a lot.

After we got my measurements, we waited for Dr. Mike to arrive.

I’m certain that I’m the cutest, chubbiest baby alive.

Dr. Mike came in to check me out, and I’m lookin’ good!

I haven’t rolled over yet (although I’m very close).

Dr. Mike says he’s not concerned, but most babies have rolled over by this point.

I would have liked to tell Dr. Mike, “Come on buddy. Look at what I’m working with. I may need a little extra time.”

Overall, I’m growing very well! I had to get three shots. I didn’t cry at all on the first two, and let out a ten-second cry on the last one. I’m one tough guy!
