4 months and he's doing great ...

That's right, Sam is 4 months old today. We went to the doctor this morning for his 4 month checkup and he's doing well. He's getting over a cold and has beaten his first ear infection. He's had quite an adjustment since our last visit to the doctor 2 months ago - starting daycare, eating from a bottle every day, fighting off colds and god only knows what other germs from the snotty nose daycare kids, and the changing of the seasons. He is doing well with it all.

Here is how he is developing. He's weighing in at 14 lbs. 12 oz. and measuring 23.5 inches long. His head is 17 in. in circumference. So here's how he compares to other babies his age: weight - 48%, height - 10%, head - 75%. It's still too early to tell how big he'll end up being, but he's 100% healthy and 100% good lookin'!!

The doctor said that we can start him on solids when we think he's ready. Since he gobbled down his cold medicine, we'll probably give it a try soon and see how he does.

I've added a few recent pics of the handsome fella for you to enjoy.
