4 month checkup

Even though Clay turned 4 months on the 9th of this month, his checkup wasn't until today. I am telling you our doctor should open his own practice. He is great and loves to take his time with you, but I was in the peds office today for 2 hours, and 1 1/2 of those hours was spent in the waiting room!

Clay had a great checkup! Here are his stats and a little of what he's doing now. Sorry no pictures in this post. He has on his pjs (I know that's silly) so picture update tomorrow!

Weight: 19.03 lbs 97%
Height: 26.5 inches long 90%
Head: 16 3/4 above 50%

Still on the charts, but barely! It has been confirmed, we are going to have a big boy on our hands!

Clay is such a happy baby! I have never seen a baby smile so much. We call him jolly! He is a great sleeper taking 4 naps a day (can't get him to hold off for three). He sleeps great at night too, usually going down around 7 or 7:30 and sleeping until 6:30 or 7 in the morning. He is getting 6 feedings a day 3 hours a part (the last one at 10 with me sneaking in and feeding him while he's asleep). The doctor said to hold off on solids until he's six months and not to change a thing! He's perfect! (or at least we think so!)

He is cooing, smiling, and laughing! He loves to jump and stand on his feet, and has starting spitting and drooling lately. He grabs everything, and immediately rolls over on his stomach when you lay him on his back. He has gotten really good at becoming more independant to play or lay on his own, and loves to watch his big brother. Hopefully the feeling will become mutual soon.

Clay is such a sweet boy, and we are so glad he is a part of our family! We love you munchkin!!
