Four-Month Check-up

Jackson had his four-month check-up this morning. He weighs 13 lbs. 10 oz. and is 26 inches long. He is in the 22% for his weght, 86% for his height and 41% for his head circumference. Long and skinny - wonder where he gets that? He went down from his two-month check-up, precentile-wise, for his weight and up for both his height and head. He is right on track for development, reaching for toys and starting to roll. He got 4 shots today, poor guy. He took them pretty well though. He can't have sunscreen until he is 6 months old because his skin is very porous right now and the doctor doesn't want him absorbing things through his skin that he shouldn't. That makes sense.
Daniel has a cough that I have noticed developing the last day or two. The doctor didn't seem to notice it. It's probably just a cold. I did ask about Dan's feet and the doctor said it is probably just a hereditary problem that will work itself out in time. He didn't even look at his feet, which bugged me. I might take Dan to get a second opinion elsewhere. The way his ankles roll in really concerns me. I don't want his flat feet affecting him negatively in the future.
