4 months already...that's crazy! Jace is doing wonderful and he's growing like a weed. He had his 4 month check up and shots yesterday. He was such a big boy. He took the rotavirus vaccine by mouth again and LOVED it! Then he had a shot in each leg. The first one he didn't even flinch at all and the 2nd one he started crying right when she pulled the needle out and he stopped as soon as I picked him up. He's such a tough little guy!
He weighed 15 pounds 10 ounces (75th percentile), was 26.5 inches long (95th percentile) and his head was 16.5 inches (50th percentile). His doctor was very shocked at how big he is and said he is doing things that she normally checks for in 6 month olds. She also said he is perfect, which we already knew that!
We've decided to go back to Similac Sensitive (the Ready to Feed liquid). The Good Start was giving him a lot of gas and he was starting to spit up a lot. His doctor also gave him a prescription for Zantac that should help with the spitting up. It tastes awful though and he doesn't like it, so we'll see how that goes.
Jace is drinking 6 ounces every 3-4 hours, and 7 ounces before bed. We're also giving him rice cereal and half a jar of a veggie in the evenings. We'll probably keep doing that for another few weeks and then add a morning feeding. He's still sleeping straight through the night. He usually goes to bed between 7:15 and 8:00 pm and sleeps until I have to wake him up at 6:45 am to get ready to be out of the house by 7:20. On mornings I don't have to get him up, he will sleep until 7:30 to 8:30 am. He likes to sleep!
He is the best baby! I would have a house full of babies if they would all be like him!! He's been rolling tummy to back for a while now and we're working on back to tummy. It won't be long though! He will sit with support, and he loves it! He's nosy and he likes to see what's going on! He's also been losing his hair. He hardly has any on top anymore. I miss all that hair that he was born with, it'll grow back soon I guess though.
Jace is starting to wear 3-6 month clothes. I really need to go through all of his clothes and take out what he's outgrown (probably a lot!) and put in the bigger stuff! He is in size 2 diapers still (at daycare) and he is still in small cloth diapers. Some of them I've adjusted to size medium and they fit well. We will be starting cloth diapers at daycare next week, so hopefully that will go well.
Now for more pictures from today...
Love those eyes!
so happy!
