4 Month Check-up

We headed to see Dr. Mike today for our 4 month check-up. Dr. Mike said all looks good and we must definitely be starving babies from the looks of things...he's so funny! Here are our stats:

Ryan
Weight: 15.6 pounds (62%)
Height: 25 inches (50%)
Head Circumference: 16.7 inches (51%)

Lily
Weight: 13.9 pounds (52%)
Height: 24.1 inches (41%)
Head Circumference: 16.2 inches (52%)


We both got the okay to start eating rice cereal and oatmeal which sounds yummy if you ask us. We're getting a little tired of the same old formula. The doctor also said we started teething, although we may not see teeth for a little while. We've been drooling a lot lately and chewing on everything which is driving mom nuts, but she better get used to it. The doctor said we need to start wearing sunscreen when we are outside. Dad said we can go to a Cubs spring training game now, and he was pretty excited about this. Dr. Mike said I also need to keep working on stretching my neck. My head got a little crooked when I was in mommy's tummy because Lily was sitting on top of me which caused my neck to get tight on one side. Our check-up ended with those dreaded immunizations - 1 drink and 4 shots again. We tried to figure a way out before getting the shots, but no matter how much we moved our legs we couldn't seem to get anywhere. If anyone has any suggestions for next time we sure would appreciate them.
