Doctors Orders!

Well....baby man had his 4 month check up this morning!! He is growing so fast, I cannot believe it. Poor little guy had to have 2 shots, but he was a trooper and a soothing bottle did the trick to calm him down (food always does it....no doubt, Aaron sure can eat....thank the good Lord mommy can still keep up).

Thankfully Aaron has graduated out of the 5th percentile in height to the 25th (24 inches)....we were worried there for a second, neither John nor myself were blessed vertically, so we are hoping he got some recessive genes. There is still hope :) And he is 50th for both weight and head....go figure, he got the pumpkin head, thanks a lot uncle watermelon!

The Dr. says he is doing great, so we couldn't be more thrilled. She also said his scar looks fantastic. For those of you that don't know, Aaron had to have surgery on his stomach back in February. He had something called pyloric stenosis, which caused him to projectile vomit every ounce of food he was eating. Needless to say, my house was a mess for a good week there until he went in for surgery. He has done excellent ever since and, with the exception of the usual spit up, does not leave giant puddles of milk on my floors anymore; or all over me for that matter.

We plan on starting Aaron on rice cereal this weekend since the Dr. gave us the go ahead....that should be interesting / messy, but we are both excited to start the next chapter in baby man's food world. Pictures will be sure to follow!!

All in all, the visit was a success, and we are so blessed to have a happy, healthy baby man.

Here are 2 pictures John took on Aaron's 4mo. birthday.
