Noah had is 4 month checkup today, which also means…shots. When we went, Rick thought Noah had to wear his Christmas hat because all the nurses and doctors at the pediatricians office would love it…Rick was right, everyone loved the hat!!
When we got there, we got Noah undressed so they could meausre him. I had my guess in for 16 lbs 4 oz, Rick said 16 lbs 5 oz….and Noah was officially 16 lbs 4.7 oz (which is the 74th percentile). So we’re calling it a tie!! Besides I think Rick would have went with something way different if I didn’t say my guess first!! Noah’s length is 26 inches (he’s in the 82nd percentile). No wonder he’s wearing 9 month clothes already!!!
After the doctor checked him over and made sure everything was sounding good and told us that we can start Noah on some rice cereal anytime between now and 6 months, it was time for the nurse to come in an give Noah his shots. He got one oral medication and two shots in each leg. Noah handled the shots pretty good, he did cry after he got poked, but was alright as soon as I could pick him up. He actually did so good that we ended up doing some shopping after we were done!!! We even went out to eat at Red Robin! Rick on the other hand, didn’t handle the shots as well!! He couldn’t even watch – which is why I had to help hold Noah down!
