Check up!

So Domi had his 4 months check up today. While he is technically 4 months and 2 weeks, according to the growth charts he's still a huge baby. He weighed in at 18.25 pounds (90-95%) and 27.5 inches long (off the chart, greater than 95%!) and his head circumference was 16.75 (50%) not as big as the rest of him, but still totally normal and fine. The doctor said he is doing great, once again, we are doing everything right (LOVE to hear that!) and to keep it up. One thing she did mention was the sleeping issues. She was actually a lot less negative about Domi being in the bed with us than I thought she would be. I was prepared to get completely defensive and irritated, but no need! She gave the official AAP party line of it's not recommended, but she then said, whatever works. The other thing she said was that swaddling him at this age, since he's breaking out so often, was probably a bad idea, so we should start weaning him off it soon. She also didn't totally push the cry it out thing either which I appreciated, although, I don't know if we'll be able to avoid it much longer. Also if I hear "put him down drowsy but awake" again I'll scream. Believe me if I could do that I would.
Then was the bad part- the shots. He actually was really great. He only cried while they were giving the shots, then as soon as I scooped him up he stopped crying. What a brave boy.
In other news, his second tooth is poking through. While this whole teething thing is happening, I don't think it's possible for the sleeping to be anything but tough. On a more cheerful note enjoy Domi enjoying his abuela!
