Our Little Peanut



Owen is FOUR months!! Owen had his four month check up today, he was weighed, measured, and had some shots. He is a really good natured little boy, and took the shots like a champ. He cried a bit afterwards, but then slept it off, and is now back to his happy baby self! The stats are in:

Weight: 13 Pounds 12 Ounces 15% percentile
Height: 24 Inches 5% percentile
Head: 40cm 5% percentile

So clearly, he really is our little peanut! He's not a big guy, but at least he is proportionate! He keeps going down on the percentile scale, but he is still growing and eating, so that is what counts. The doctor said that he is ready for solids, like rice cereal... and we are excited to have fun with that! :) I cannot believe how fast he is learning and growing. He loves to laugh and play, and is the constant charmer, always smiling at everyone.

But now I don't have to wonder why he is still fitting so well into all his 0-3 month clothes!! He is still just a small little fella! With short parents like us, he really had no chance, he's destined to be a small guy! We love him and are enjoying every second of being his parents! What a joy.

It's amazing I was able to get some happy pics of him on his tummy, he HATES tummy time. He only lasts a few minutes before he freaks out.
