4 months and growing . . .


We took Nicolas to the doctor yesterday for a regular checkup. All signs are good - his weight has more than doubled since birth (he's an ounce under 16 lbs!), he's now 25 inches long, and his head is an inch bigger in circumference as well. His doctor said he's in the 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for length and head size, and his growth charts look pretty much perfect. Unfortunately he wasn't too excited about the good news because it came during his normal nap time, and was followed by 4 shots (ouch!). today was a good day though - we're back on schedule and starting to figure out a routine for him. maybe we can make it through this afterall.

This was taken at 3:30 today while i tried to get some work done. He's so fun when he's not screaming at us. Any of our parent friends out there - what is up with this newborn thing of sleeping for most of the day, and then fussing ALL NIGHT LONG? we're trying to adjust/reverse his schedule, but last night he was wide awake and fussy from midnight to 4 a.m. sorry, no pics of that to share here. he only settled down when mary let him lay on top of her to sleep. we got some gripe water for him, and have been changing and feeding him regularly, but still not having much luck. we even took him to our awesome chiropractor here, who thought he looked great. so if you have a tip, we'll listen.
