4 Month Check-Up

Noah had a great visit today with Dr. Savitt! At the doctors office he was excellent-he didn't cry until his 3rd shot and while he was being examined he was a doll! Dr. Savitt was very complimentary of Noah's behavior. However, he warned us that behavior can change when he is 6 months old. ..I don't think so...Noah is my little angel and I bet he stays that way FOREVER!!
In this photo Noah is being weighed...he weighed a whopping 15 pounds and 8 ounces! He is 25 1/4 inches long and has a head circumference of 43 centimeters. His weight, length, and head circumference are all in the 75th percentile. I am very excited about how healthy my little man is! Noah is developmentally ready to digest rice cereal now and Dr. Savitt said we can start feeding it to him when we think it is appropriate. I think we will wait because Noah just doesn't seem hungry enough. They say that when a baby is eating 10 times a day and still seems hungry then it is time to introduce the cereal. Until then I just think it is unnecessary for him...our goal is to keep him healthy and that is just what we will do!

This video is of Noah playing with paper on the exam table while waiting for his turn.

This video is of Noah during his examination...notice how great he is.

The last video of his appointment is of the dreaded immunization shots. He was very brave but at the 4th shot he began screaming and turned red...check it out!

Because Noah was such a wonderful and brave young baby boy we decided to go walk the strand in order to reward him! He seemed to enjoy it the best he could...he was tired and a little groggy from the baby Tylenol that he took after his shots!

Since we were in the neighborhood we also decided to stop by Uncle's house. Noah woke up from his nap with a great big smile!

Last but definitely not least was when Aunt Wendy went to feed Noah, Noah took hold all by himself! Check it out!!!
