Megan and Lucas had their four month check today.....albeit a little late because of the holidays. They are doing great and growing well! Here are the stats:
Megan: 14 lbs, 12.5 oz (50th %)
24.5 in (25th %)
Lucas: 14 lbs, 5 oz (25th %)
25 in (25th %)
They are developing well and meeting all their milestones. We have gotten the okay for cereal (even though we have started it already) and she even said we could introduce a couple other foods, but no more than 3 before they are 6 months old.
She agrees that they are starting to teethe and gave all the common recommendations for relief.
Lucas' sleeping issues over the last week (waking up every 2 hours) has no obvious cause. A first thought is that he is going through a growth spurt and being hungry. Another reason could be his skin. He has always had very sensitive skin (like his mommy) and looks like he has a bit of eczema. He could be getting itchy and irritable at night. So, we are trying Cetaphil lotion a few times daily and if that doesn't work, we have a script for a low dose steroid cream. Of course, the teething could be it too.
Finally, they got their shots. They did as well as can be expected, and were extra fussy this afternoon, but that is to be expected.
Other than that, all is well. Next check-up is at 6 months. I can only imagine how big they will be!
