4 Months!

4 months have blown by since Justin's arrival and he has grown so much since we brought him home from the hospital. It took a while for him to start gaining weight, but when I took him into the pediatrician's for his 4 month checkup, they were impressed with his growth. They were very pleased to see the rolls on his arms and legs, and his chubby little fingers. He is now 16 lbs 15.5 oz and 26 1/8 inches long. While he still hasn't found his toes, he has found his knees, so it shouldn't be too long now. He is also pretty close to rolling from his back to his front. He was given one oral immunization that he tried to spit out, and three shots which had him screaming. Fortunately I was able to hold him right away, and quickly calmed him down. He then slept the majority of the day.

The doctor was very pleased with his progress, and thinks he is doing great! Of course since that is the conclusion we came to, who are we to argue with such a smart person?
