4 month check up

Logan had his 4 month check up today. The doctor says he is doing great! His umbilical hernea is gone - now he just has an outie belly button. The flat spot on his head is getting better - she said to just keep doing what we are doing so that is the plan.

He weighed 13 pounds 1/2 ounce (50th % when age adjusted for being a premie and 26th % not age adjusted)

He was 24 1/4 inches long (50th % when age adjusted and 44th % not age adjusted)

His head is 16 1/2 inches around - also 50th % age adjusted.

He did real well with his shots - or at least as well as can be expected. The first one he barely noticed, but the second one was a combo one and it took a little longer and he screamed. But as soon as I picked him up and gave him some love he was happy. Plus I showed him the REALLY bright kitty painting on the wall - which he loves whenever we go there - and he smiled at it so it was cute.

By the time we got back to daycare (just across the street) he was sound asleep. Barely woke up when I took him out of his carseat and laid him in his crib. Chances are he'll sleep a lot today (hopefully he still sleeps a lot tonight!)

The doctor was pleased with how much he is eating - saying he is a good feeder. She was really pleased with how well he sleeps at night and hopes that continues (ME TOO!)

So that is about it! Once perfectly perfect baby boy!
