Brody's 4 Month Check-up

Yesterday, Brody went to the Dr. for his 4 month check-up.  As if he had not been there enough last week with the breathing treatments (see below for more on that).  

We knew that Brody had been growing but we were still shocked when we heard by how much.  The Dr.'s assistant asked if we were feeding him pork chops prior to his weigh-in.  Brody came in a hair under 16 pounds and was 26 inches long (90% for both as well as 90% for his head measurement).  This news assuaged any fears we had previously held regarding the amount of food to give him as he was obviously getting enough.  Unfortunately, with the good comes the bad.  Brody had to have 2 shots as part of his vaccination regimen.  Anybody with little ones knows that this is just as unpleasant for the parents as it is for the child.  Daddy gave him some tylenol and it seemed to help.  Brody gets a 2 month reprieve until his next visit.  I told the Dr. that I hope I don't see her until then as we had now been there 4 times in 2 weeks.
