4 month Weigh In...

So today was Patrick's four month shot visit....well sans shots. Patrick has been running a low grade temp (under 100 but higher than 98.6) since yesterday morning. So we went to the Dr and got the latest progress report. Drum Roll Please.....17 lbs and 8 ozs (Yes that is a gain of 14 ozs in just 11 days!) and he is 26 3/4 inches long! So our boy is growing up just fine! His ears are clearing up. Everything else checked out just fine. So as soon as the low grade temp goes away, we can just our next round of shots....hopefully next Friday. There has been a fever virus making the rounds in his daycare...two infants in his room have had it already...so we are hoping this isn't what we have. We also get to start eating cereal twice a day. His Dr said that his stuffy nose may be a food allergy, but it is tough to say. So he said to keep eating the cereal and let's see how his nose does.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day!

Thanks for checking in!
LeAnna, Matthew, and Patrick

Tooter is just now getting over a fever virus too! Came down with it Tuesday, and finally woke up this morning without fever. (although he's still cranky). It must be going around everywhere. Just give Patrick lots of snuggles, and something for the fever and he'll work thru it in no time!
