Today Tristan went to the pediatrician for his 4 month check up. He weighed in at 13 pounds, 8 ounces and was in the 50th percentile for weight, up from the 25th percentile at 2 months. He measured almost 25 inches and is still in the 75th percentile for length. The doctor said he was doing great and was even surprised that he is already getting into the "frog position" trying to push up with his legs when on his stomach. Watch out, he might start crawling soon!
The pediatrician also discussed with Victor and myself all the new foods Tristan gets to start enjoying. Everything from cereal to veggies and fruit. Boy, is he going to be in for a ride on the food roller coaster! I plan on going to the store tomorrow and buying all his new foods, so I will keep everyone posted on how he takes to eating food with a spoon!
And of course, the main event of his check up, the SHOTS! At his 2 month check up Tristan wasn't too bothered by the shots, but things were definitely different this round. After the first poke, there were four altogether, he screamed bloody murder for about 20 or so minutes and was inconsolable. Victor and I both felt horrible!
Overall, his appointment went really well and Tristan is progressing right on track.
