Wyatt had his four month well visit today. Shots were last week. We go to the University Clinic to get his shots because they are free there. But- we like our pediatrician and the service at the office- so we pay out of network. It's worth it. And the more people I talk to (other resident wives, previous residents with kiddos, residents in other departments), we all feel better about taking our kids out of network and paying the hefty fees. I could write an entire post about the injustice of the insurance provider for those poor residents but I won't. This post is for Wyatt:)
4 month Stats:
weight: 17 lbs 5 oz- 95%
Height: 26 "- 60%
head: ? I can't remember and I forgot to get a print out of his stats. But it was 56% is all I remember.
So there- his head isn't as big as it seems! He still doesn't have much hair but Byron keeps telling him not to get used to it. He is his father's son after all! But maybe he got my genes? He did get my chinese eyes- much to my delight!
He is a smiley baby and Dr. Benbow commented on how smiley he was for his age. As proof of how happy he is.....
He is now into "Peek a Boo" and loves to be right in everyone's face. He also loves to have the clothes thrown on him. I lay him on the bed and toss warm clothes on him. He wiggles till he uncovers his face and laughs when he sees us looking at him. So cute. One of my favorite things he does now- is pat my face when I rock him before bed. He holds up his hand and looks right at me- with passy in his mouth and coos a little. I love it. He falls asleep sometimes with his hand resting on my face. Byron thinks its gross "No telling where that hand has been" he says. But I don't care. I love it and I hope to remember that sweetness forever.
We are headed to the beach this week for our first "Family trip". I told Byron he can't just go off and leave me for 15 hours at time:) The man loves to fish- what can I say? Pop Yocum and Loli bought Wyatt a little cabana so hopefully Wyatt won't roast out on the beach. Even so- Just like Byron's all day fishing adventures are a (temperary) thing of the past, so are my days of sitting on the beach with a book for 15 hours. I just don't think a 4 month old can handle that much sun- cabana or no. It's ok. He's worth it.
