4 Months Old

Lucas turned 4 months old today! On Monday we went for his 4 month wellness check up and everything is going great. He is now 14 lbs, 4 ounces, which places him in the 50th percentile (meaning that he is lighter or heavier than 50 percent of babies his age). He also is now 26 inches long, placing him in the 90th percentile, so he is taller than 90 percent of babies at his age. We have a feeling that he will be long and lean.

The doctor also told us to that we can start supplementing his diet with rice cereal, so we will be looking into that. He also got his second round of immunization shots, which didn't please him at all. And, he's still fighting a blocked tear duct at his left eye that is causing him discomfort. Hopefully that will go away soon.

He has since moved up to size 2 diapers, so he's growing fast. He can hold up his head really well now and his favorite position is the "Superman" position in which I hold him on his chest, tummy facing the floor, like he's flying. We call him "Superboy" when he does it. He is doing really well and it's amazing how fast he's grown so far. Looking forward to his big day this Sunday!
