4 Month Check Up

Jameson at 4 months

Jameson had his 4 month wellness exam this week. He is doing very well with all his milestones and growth. He is 16 pounds 6 ounces, 24.5 inches long and his head is 45 cm which was slightly off the chart. His reflux is gone and we have switched to soy formula. I was having a really hard time getting all the milk proteins out of my diet completely and when we experimented with trying formula he did really well. Just as we take care of one thing another one pops up. Jameson seems to be getting eczema. So now he has special moisturizing soap, lotion and has to use cortizone ointment on the spots. People always told me girls were high maintenance but Jameson far surpasses Killian.

Jameson and Mommy

 Jameson has learned to blow raspberries, spit and hang his tongue out of his mouth to get as much slobber as possible all over himself and anyone who wants to come near him. He is still very fond of trying to get his entire hand in his mouth. He now MUST have at least one finger in his mouth while he eats his bottles. This is a very annoying habit because I swear 1/3 of the bottle ends up down his shirt.

Killian and Jameson

He is still very much so a happy guy. He will go absolutely crazy when he is hungry. But otherwise he is calm and relaxed. Jameson loves to play with the colorful link toys. Killian will make him a long chain of them and he will swing them all around. This leads to everyone getting smacked in the face with them. He also really loves his crinkle book. He will sit and play with it for hours. Killian ha learned to leave his toys alone when he is playing with them unless she wants to hear him scream at her. 

I am currently trying to plan the Halloween costumes for the family. Killian has a new idea everyday, Some of my favorite ideas are Snow White for Killian and Dopey for Jameson. Pippi Longstocking for myself and Jameson can be her monkey Mr. Nilsson. Sean can be The Man in the Yellow Hat and Jameson can be Curious George. Jameson can be Gru and we can all be Minions from Despicable Me. My sister keeps telling me that Jameson should be Calilou from a PBS show here. If you are unfamiliar with the character here is a picture.

I think it has to do with the big, bald head.

But I guess you will just have to wait a few weeks for a Halloween post to see what we end up with!
