4 Month Check Up

So today was another dreaded doctors visit. Ty had to get his second round of shots. Growing up my mom would always say "if I could take the pain away, I would" or " I wish I could get the shots for you". Until now, I never really understood how true those statments were. I would do anything to take the pain away for him. I hate to see him cry so hard. Not only did he have to get 2 shots, his circumcision started to reattach. Not knowing what they would do to fix it, he cleaned his little pee pee and then yanked the skin back. The doctor said it would not be bad. I begged to differ. It broke my heart. Ty only cried for a few seconds though so maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. (It sounded bad though didn't it.) The doctor said he is looking good both physically and developmentally. Here are his stats:

Weight: 17lbs 6ozs. 90%

Length: 25 1/2 inches 70%

Head: 17 5/8 inches 90%

He is starting to slow down in the growing. My back says thank you! Here are some fun things Ty is doing at 4 months:

• He is sitting up, but still needs some assistance with balance.
• He has the cutest belly laugh. When he gets excited or I kiss under his chin he just laughs so hard.
• He rolled over for the first time on St. Patricks day! He was laying on his stomach and all of a sudden he said scwoop and just flipped over. He rolled back to is stomach, but did this only once. Since then, he has rolled over from his stomach to his back numerous times.
• He is teething! Drool, drool, and more drool!!!! We can go through some bibs.
• He is starting to like baths. I got this fish that spits water at learning express and he thinks it is funny when I squirt him with it.
• He likes to hold his bottle all by himself. If I am holding it, he will hold my hands (so I wont take it away).
• He is able to hold all kinds of toys and takes them straight to his mouth.
• Ty's favorite thing to do is watch TV. I know, what a bad mother, but it either that or hold him and i cant put on mascara holding a 17lb baby!

He gets so excited in his exersaucer!

Chillin in Momma's bed!

Grumpy boy!
