Carter had his 4 month appointment today. Here are his measurements:
Weight: 13 lbs, 13 oz - 34th percentile (13 oz gain since Feb 17th)
Height: 23.75 inches - 17th percentile (0.5 in gain since Feb 17th)
His head measured 42.5 cm which the doctor mentioned was around the 75th percentile. Even though Carter's dropping some with the weight and height percentiles, the doctor said that all his measurements were fine.
Carter got all the same vaccines that he'd gotten at 2 months. He of course screamed and turned purple while he was getting the shots, but he calmed down quickly once I held him.
Because Carter has such good head and trunk control, the doctor said we can start introducing some solids now. So we may try some rice cereal in a week or two.
We saw a different doctor today (Dr. Stanley). We liked him because he gave us a lot of information as he was examining Carter - stuff the other doctors hadn't mentioned before. Basically though he looked healthy and is hitting all the developmental milestones on time or early.
