| On one of our morning walks |
We had Thomas's 4 month check up today. He is doing great, had 3 shots (one of them orally) and he barely cried. I actually asked daddy to come with expecting it to be as hard as the 2 month visit, but it wasn't bad at all. He is now 16 lbs 1 oz (75th percentile, 50th as average) and 27" long (97th percentile, 50th as average). He has almost doubled his birth weight and grown 6 inches long in 4 months. Wow! I am telling you, he may be taller than mommy and daddy someday . Ha Ha
We are pretty sure now that he has a dairy sensitivity so I am giving up dairy for now. I tried to introduce dairy back into my diet last weekend (after about 5 weeks without) and that hasn't gone so well. We have had lots of spit up, outfit changes, baths, showers, laundry, burp cloths and a little bit of fussiness. Randy said that all of this was to make me want to give up dairy. This is true and it worked. :-) Hopefully in a couple days Thomas will begin to feel better again. The doctor said this may be the cause or have some to do with his reflux. I am just hoping we figured it out, we hate to see Thomas not feeling well.
As for solid foods, the doctor would like us to wait until 6 months because of his reflux. We are fine with that because it is recommended to breastfeed only for the first 6 months by the American Academy of Pediatrics anyways. So Thomas is a healthy little man, right on track with developmental activities and happy as can be.

| Yep, he has discovered his tongue. I never thought it would be so cute to have someone stick their tongue out at me. LOL |
