4 Month Checkup

We went in for Andrew's 4 month checkup today. He weighs 14 lbs 12 oz (50th percentile) and is 25.75 inches (90th percentile) and his head circumference is in the 75th percentile. Yeah!! He is a big ole healthy baby! He also got a few shots. :( Andrew did NOT like that "mean" nurse giving him shots! His face turned beet red and he let out a big cry. But, after I picked him, he calmed down pretty quickly. It just breaks my heart.
And a nod to big brother, Will, who went with us to the doctor's appointment and behaved so well! He is such a sweetie and has grown up so much. I love my little helper!
Will has changed so much recently and has gotten so smart....sometimes I think this child is going to outsmart before he starts kindergarten. :) He can count up to ten things, knows all of his letters, and is even starting to put letters together to form words. WOW!! And his imagination is amazing. He is always pretending whether it is cooking for a "birthday party" or playing golf with a paintbrush and imaginary balls, etc. Also, he can pedal his big boy bike by himself now! I know I am biased but this kid amazes me everyday and I love watching his little mind grow right along with his little body!

Andrew is getting so big and WOW! so cute. I was in the store yesterday, and 6 month clothes go up to 16 lbs and 25 inches, so Andrew is officially 9 month size. I love every little ounce of him!!
