4 Month Well Baby Visit

So first off, I posted the wrong video in the post below....I will fix it soon, sorry! Yesterday Jack finally had his 4 month checkup...(he had a fever on his original app. date so the couldn't give him his shots) Everything went fantastic yesterday! He has passed all of his developmental milestones, he weighs 16lbs 12oz and is 24 3/4 inches long! They gave him his shots (i had to leave the room) he only cried a little compared to his 2 month shots! They have also referred him to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor for the chronic congestion. We are pretty sure he has extra tissue where his adnoids are( he gets this from me) which is causing the congestion. So hopefully we can get him some relief soon. He has 2 little teeth that are starting to come up! We also talked about the cereal thing (my old pediatrician is the one who said to start cereal 4 months) she said that he doesn't need the extra calories until 6 months (he is the 90% for weight) since he is getting a little bit of formula here and there she said that is all the iron he needs. When she put him on his tummy to see if he could push up, etc... he pulled his knees up under him and she said that he is definately ready to go places...and to make sure we give him lots of tummy time so he can figure out how to make it all work together! She added that she is pretty sure that he will be crawling by the next time she sees him! So anywho, everything is going great...he is growing like a weed!! He keeps us smiling and laughing...he is so precious and we cherish every moment...
