. . . and the Sprout keeps growing!

Yesterday was Serif's 4 month well visit to the doctor. Can you believe it's been 4 months already? He did well, but there were more tears this time around. He was in a great mood all morning and woke up all smiles before taking the trip to the doctor. He did great in the waiting room and in the room itself, but as soon he gets put on the scales he cries. He did stop once we picked him up off the scale though. He did great for Dr. Ladd but when the nurse came in to give him the vaccinations things started going south. She starts out with the one that just squirts in the mouth (we'll add that video later). I guess it doesn't taste good 'cause he 'cried like a girl' as Jeff says. Thankfully that takes longer than the 4 shots that come after that. It took a little more consoling this time to get him calmed back down and to get rid of all the tears. I guess it's good that these appointments hit at feeding time because after all the horrible things he goes through, I'm able to cuddle him up and feed him. This makes things all better. . . for him and me. =)

Here's the growth stats:
Weight: 18lbs 13 oz (97%)
Height: 26-3/4" (95%)
Head Circumference: 16-1/4" (25%)

Scales don't lie!

Let the tears roll! This was after the shots.

Dad consoling Serif.

Hey, atleast he gets fun bandaids to help heal the wounds - 2 on each leg!

Home after a long visit to the doctor . . . and doing quite well.
