Check-Up

E man went to the doctor for his 4 and a half month check-up. Or maybe its his three month check-up. Everything we ever discuss at the doctor is discussed twice because development and growth-wise, we discuss as of his birth date as well as his due date.

Overall the visit went great up until the shots. Ethan's stats are as follows:

11 lbs, 5 oz which puts him in the 5th percentile for being born at the end of June. That shoots way up to the 20th percentile if you go off of babies born in mid-August.

24.25 inches which puts him in the 20th percentile for length - 75th percentile if off of due date.

15.75 inches head - I don't even know what this is - circumference? I don't know why it matters, but he is in the 5th percentile/15th percentile. All we know is that E will have a smaller melon than Gibson, Riebe and all of my other big-meloned friends.

E got four shots and it went a little worse than his last four. Kid screamed unlike anything we have ever heard from him. After about five minutes of screaming, he calmed down and was fine the rest of the night.

Everything else like motor skills and the sort seemed fine to the doc. We won't start rice cereal for a few more months.

That's about it.
