Matthew had his four month checkup this morning. It seems as though we are finally coming out of the eating struggles - April was a rough month. With that said, I was happy to go to his checkup and see what his weight/height was - especially since it's been two and a half weeks since he was there last.
Anyway - his height is still over the 95% - 27". His weight is 17#2oz(around 90%). His head circum. was around 16 3/4 or 17". The doctor was pleased with his progress.
On the homefront - we are venturing into new territory. As a result of his 40 minute nap at church(not long enough!), he ended up eating three meals + his nighttime feeding. He has been eating around 7, 11ish,3ish, 6ish and then 10:30. Now it's pretty much 7ish, 11:30ish and then 4:oo/4:30ish and then 10:30. I've been testing out the rice cereal, too. He's not too impressed with it. :o)
The other new thing is that MTE is turning over more - while he is sleeping! You know what that means - he wakes up crying and mad because he can't figure out how to get back on his belly. In the long run it's a good thing - right now it's a "oh,no he's done it again" - especially in the middle of the night. I am thankful that he is progressing to more mobility - Mark and I think that he will be everywhere once he gets going! :o)

Is that a burp rag he is chewing on? Caleb has started liking to snuggle with his when he sleeps, guess that is b/c he spits up so much that he has become used to having it close to his face all the time! :) He hasn't even had his 4 mos check-up yet b/c he was sick and I knew they wouldn't give him his shots. Hopefully soon. We are w/o a car right now, so that makes it a bit more tricky. I'm anxious to see how much he has grown. Glad MTE got a good report! Take care.
