4 month Check-up

Jonathen had his 4 month checkup today.  Wesley did not want to go into the doctors office until we explained that he did not have to get checked today.  He spent the entire visit telling us that it was not his turn.  Jonathen did not have any problem with the doctor.  He was happy to get weighed and measured and did not even cry when Dr. Graham examined him.  The only time he cried was when he got his second shot.  He only cried until we got him his pacifier.  Dr. Graham was really impressed with Jonathen.  He said he is a really mellow baby and has advanced motor skills.  He does not normally check if they can sit up until the 6 month checkup, but he did this time.  I am guessing that his nurse told him that I had Jon sitting up on the table.  So he sat Jon up to see if he could sit by himself and was impressed that he was staying up even if he was a little wobbly.  He said he is not suprised if some 6 month olds do not do even that well.  Jon weighed in at 16 lbs 7 oz (80th percentile) and 26 1/2 inches tall (95th percentile) with a head circuference of 17 inches(75th percentile).  Dr. Graham was just about to tell us that Jon should not get teeth for another 4 months when he opened Jon's mouth and saw that he already had two of them.  Oh well, Jon just got ahead of the curve on that one.  Jon had to get two shots today, but he seems to be doing okay.
