The other event that day was Benjamin's 4 month checkup. We took him in the afternoon to the doctor where they weighed him at 15 lb. 1 oz. He was also 24 inches long. He absolutely loved grabbing all their tools and they kept commenting on how "helpful" he was. Everything checked out good, except he has a muscle tight on the right side of his neck. This makes him turn his head mostly to the left, because it is more comfortable for him. I guess I noticed him doing that a lot more lately but now we know it is something we will have to work on with him so he turns his head both ways with ease. This will also help his head be more symmetrical. So, tomorrow we go to the physical therapist to learn some exercises to do with Ben to help treat this. The end of the appointment was the 4 month shots, eek. His first round of shots, I got to hold his hand and soothe him through it all. Today, it was daddy's turn. I think he was a little braver than before and pretty much calmed down after daddy cuddled with him a bit. So we go back in 2 months for his 6 month checkup. Has it really been almost half a year since he was born?!!
So that is mostly what has gone on these days in our home! Andy has a birthday coming up this Friday, the big 29! I am sure we will post more about our birthday fun in the upcoming days and weekend. :-)
