Nolan-4 Months Old

{Pictures of Nolan dressed and ready to go to the doctor}

Little Nolan and I saw the dr. yesterday for his 4-month check up. He got lots of vaccinations but they were wise and gave him the oral one first, and then the 2 thigh shots at the same time! The nurses even counted '1..2..3' to make sure they poked my little guy at the same time. It was heart-wrenching and he gave me the 'how could you let them do this' look, but he was a CHAMP!

Weight: 18 pound 2 ounces 93 percentile
Height: 26 inches 80 percentile
Head: 17.1 inches 77 percentile

His head has grown a whole bunch! Well, the rest of him as grown too, but his head went from the 20 percentile to the 77 percentile. That's my boy!

It was also really fun to answer 'yes' to the following questions the dr. asked:

Is he rolling front to back and back to front?
Is he eating rice cereal and a fruit or vegetable once a day?
Is he waking up in the middle of the night? (SO reassuring! He's having a growth spurt.)
Is he laughing?
Is he reaching for things?
Does he respond to your voice?
Can he track an object across the room?
Will he turn his head if he hears your voice from a distance?

Nolan is such a great boy. The whole growth spurt, waking up in the night, thing had been throwing me for a loop because I thought his sleeping habits were due to bad mothering skills. So to hear that he's just hungry more often because those little baby parts are growing made me feel so. much. better. He's so healthy, so fun, and so perfect. Not a day goes by that we don't talk about Makenzie and I tell Nolan how much we love her, and how much she loves him, and he will always know that. What a blessing!

Happy 4 months little dude.

And happy General Conference weekend! We're so excited to hear our prophet!

What a doll - wish I could pinch those cheeks! I am so so so happy for you, did you know that? I was thinking about you during Elder Andersen's talk in conference, you have done so much for people who struggle with not being able to have kids and now you get to experience all the wonderfulness at long last. Sending lots of love from the UK.
