We celebrated Liam's four month birthday on Tuesday! ...he spent a lot of time celebrating, waking up every three hours throughout the night. (He NEVER does this..and hasn't since! Knock on wood!)
On Wednesday Liam saw Dr. Uthe for his four month check up! Here are his stats:
Weight: 16.5lbs 71%
Length: 25.5in 77%
Head circumference: 17 3/8in 91%
His check up went really, really well. She was impressed with his head control & alertness. L thought she was silly--he laughed at her. He was infatuated with her stethoscope too, grabbing it several times.
Liam is being referred to a physical therapist, as his pediatrician is concerned about him favoring one side of his neck. He has made many improvements from his two month check up. Although I am very nervous we want to nip it before it is harder to "fix" and so it does not become permanent.
We believe he does this because when he was "engaged" during labor, he had his head turn back to one side (the same side he favors, which is ultimately why I ended up having a c section. Liam does fantastic holding his head up during tummy time & when he sits in his Bumbo. The problem is when he lays flat on his back, and keeps his head to the left more often than not.
Liam has the BEST laugh ever. It's so cute & contagious.
You can often find him with his legs in the air & fingers in his mouth.
He loves when daddy "eats" his piggies.
We read a lot of books.
Liam tries to sit up when he's laying on his Boppy or our laps. He just lifts his head & chest a little.
He likes to scoot around during tummy time.
He can now roll from his back, but doesn't do it often.
He eats 5-6 ounces every 3 to 4 hours.
So far we have only tried: rice cereal, oatmeal & green beans (last night)
