Cedric is Growing and Growing

Cedric went to the doctor yesterday to have his four month check-up to see how big he is getting and to get his dreaded shots. Poor baby! :(

Cedric weighed 14 lbs. 2.4 oz, and he is in the 25th percentile for his weight. His height was 25 and a half inches, and he is in the 60th percentile. Basically, he is a tall and thin lad. The doctor's assistant was a little bit concerned, but not really, about his weight, but I'm not. I was the same way when I was a baby. Cedric is getting plenty of food, he's just an active little guy with a fast metabolism. :)

The doctor was amazed about how advanced he is...he jokingly said, "Are you sure you are a four month old?" I was demonstrating how Cedric not only bares weight on his legs but he takes steps while being held, too. Cedric was also laughing and having a good time until the doctor held him down to look in his ears. He felt so violated and betrayed...poor guy. Than he had to get a liquid immunization and four shots...all were very unpleasant for my baby. He got lots of hugs and kisses from mommy and daddy though.

He is sleeping now! Trying to recover from the medicine working its way through his body.
