4 month doctor's appointment

Here are your 4 month baby stats!

Henry
  • weight: 14 pounds 2 ounces (45%)
  • length: 24 inches (25%)
  • head: 17 1/4 inches (90%)
  • weight to length ratio: 75%
Matthew
  • weight: 15 pounds 3 ounces (50%)
  • length: 25 inches (50%)
  • head: 17 3/4 inches (97%)
  • weight to length ratio: 50%
So, the boys are looking great! She's going to check their heads at the 6 month appointment just to make sure they're still on the growth curve. If they're not (ie, off the curve on the high side), then she'll want to do an ultrasound to see what's going on in there (ie, is there fluid?). But, since they're both growing like that, chances are they just have big heads. :-) Also good news is that Henry is no longer anemic! We're allowed to stop his vitamin supplement , so that is very exciting. Next stop is rice cereal in about a month!
