4 Months Old!

Atlas had his 4 month appointment on Wednesday December 11th.  Exactly 3 weeks after he turned 4 months, he's actually closer to 5 months.   He weighed in at 15lbs 13.5 oz and is 26" long.  I thought that was huge, but looking back at Ares' 4 month appointment (which was 4 days BEFORE he turned 4 months)  he's right in line.   Ares was 15 lbs 9 oz, and 25".   The doctor says that the spit up is normal, and it frustrates the hell out of me and Atlas' teachers (and Adam, and my mom, and anyone who holds him).  This. Is. NOT. Normal!  We'll see a specialist next month if it continues.  Right now, we've started feeding him Rice cereal with a spoon (he's not too fond of it).  We might start some other baby food soon.  Hopefully this fixes it a little bit.  He behaved so well at the appointment, he was all smiles, and even laughed too!  During his two shots he cried, but was silent the instant I picked him up.   

Ares went with us and also behaved very well.  He went to get his flu shot, and was excited about it (I bribed him with a promise of a milk shake).  When he got there, the doctor told him he didn't have to get a shot, he could do the one up the nose.  He said he wanted the shot, because he wanted a milk shake.  I told him he could still get the milk shake, so he was happy in the end, and me too, because we're all (except Adam) vaccinated now!
