4 month check up

We had Jacob's 4 month check up on Friday. He weighs 14 lbs. 11 oz, 25.5 inches long and is doing great! Doctor said we can start him on solids if we want, but since he is eating well and sleeping well, we don't necessarily need to at this point. I think I am going to wait until I know for sure he needs solids or reevaluate at 5 months. I don't see the need to rush into it if he is satisfied with what he is getting right now. His ears are all cleared up, even though we have a couple more days of antibiotics. He had more shots, but it went relatively well. He didn't even flinch with the first one, so I was thinking hmm....maybe this won't be that bad. Then the pain kicked in and he started to SCREAM. But it didn't last long after I picked him up. He was asleep before we even got out of the parking lot. Then Saturday happened...He woke up with hives. They came and went for a few hours. Then we called the nurse on call. She said it was probably more of a reaction to the antibiotics than the shots since he had no reaction last time. Regardless, same treatment. Little Benadryl and lots of sleep.

Here are his 3 month pictures that we got back this weekend. He is too freaking cute if I do say so myself! :)
