Wes' 4 month checkup

Wes had his 4 month checkup yesterday. He did really well, he is doing everything that Dr. Harper asked about like holding his hands together like he is praying, smiling, laughing, holding his head up well. He is probably teething but we probably won't see a tooth for a while, he drools and chews on his hands all the time now, we barely need the pacifier but that is also because he likes sucking his thumb now too. Dr. Harper went on and on again about how cute he is and while I'm sure he does that all the time, I still think it's cute. Wes got two of his shots yesterday, he still will have to go back for one more which is going to really suck but he did really well for the first two, he cried of course and I think that the needle kinda grazed his leg a little because he had a little blood running down his leg but it was only for a second but he was NOT too happy about that. He was hungry and tired at the time so I'm sure that added to the sadness a little, it makes us so sad to see him upset. I know he has no idea what this horrible pain is and why it's happening so it's really sad.
Anyway, on to the good news, he is 13 lbs, 9 ounces which is in the 25th percentile and is 24 and 3/4" tall which is in the 50th percentile, looks like someone is gonna be tall like his daddy. Also, we will get to start solids really soon so that will be exciting. The Dr. said we could start them now but I just really don't think that he is ready for them other than cereal yet so I'm going to keep watching for signs that he's getting more interested in eating and then we will start with the yummy veggies and fruits!

And here are some photos since I know I missed posting some over the week and I guess people really do read this because I started getting questions as to why I wasn't updating it. Some of these photos are from Mike's graduation party that we went to last week where we also noticed that Wes is beginning to experience a little separation anxiety from mommy and daddy. CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!

Oh and one more thing, we had lunch with Aunt Kelly today and we wanted to be sure to mention how when Kelly said hi to Wes, he smiled really big and it almost looked like he waved at her, it was too funny, see, he already loves pretty girls!
