Short Update

Dawson's doctor's appointment went great! He weighed 17.6 pounds and is 27 inches long! I think the doc said he was in the 85 percentile for his weight and he is almost "off the charts" with his length. :-D That would explain why at 4 months old he is wearing 6-9 month clothing and even some 9-12 month!

He got a few shots, it was so sad. :-( He cried until I was able to pick him up and comfort him. I was fighting back my tears...at least I didn't start bawling like I did when he got his shots at 2 months. :-P

He pretty much passed out 15 minutes after he got the shots. Luckily I was able to give him a little bit of tylenol before he fell asleep which I think really helped his mood later on in the day. He was a little fussy but nothing too bad.

He has a little bit of eczema on his face so he was prescribed some hydrocortisone cream. That stuff works really well! His face started looking a lot better the next day!

His doc said I could try starting him on rice cereal anytime to see how he does but I've read that it is better to wait until he is about 6 months old, so that is what we are going to do. No rush. :-)

I think that's about it!

Video of Dawson

Dave's ship left earlier this week...luckily they are only going to be gone for about a month.

Dawson is 17 weeks old today! He'll be 4 months old on Wednesday. Seems like time is flying by!

He has a doctors appointment on Monday. I'm looking forward to it because it's exciting to see how much he has grow since his last visit! :-) BUT I'm also not looking forward to it because he has to get immunization shots. :-(

I'll have a longer update after his appointment...for now really just wanted to post this video....

I took it with my phone so it might be dark and the quality not so good. Dawson obviously doesn't like it when I make this sound. It's cute AND sad at the same time...
