More shots?!

Last week I went to the doctor for my 4-month check-up. Everything is going well and the doctor says I'm looking and sounding really healthy. I'm even creeping up the percentile charts for size and weight. Here are the stats for everyone keeping score at home:

Height: 24.5" (about the 20th percentile)
Weight: 13.2 lbs. (still about 10th percentile)
Head: 42 cm (nearly the 40th percentile--hey I need somewhere to store my genius.)

I also had four shots and a liquid vaccination that I mostly spit out. But I handled them very well. I didn't even get a fever this time or anything.

Oh, and the doctor said I can start up on solids now, beginning with rice cereal. So, I'm excited for that (even if my mom isn't).

Happy Mother's Day!

Today, mom and I celebrated our first Mother's Day together. We kicked off the festivities this morning when I gave her some new pajamas--they're really soft so it will be extra snuggly when I'm cuddled up with her in the morning. Then we had breakfast up at my grandma and grandpa Griffin's house. Both of my great grandmas were there, too. So it was really exciting. The rest of the day we just hung out at the house. All in all, it was a great day. I hope my mom had fun.

Also, last weekend I got my three month portraits taken. I was kind of grumpy that morning, but we got some good pictures anyway. Here are my mom's favorites:

My first sniffles.

Over the weekend I had my first bout with the common cold. I was coughing, had a runny nose, was running a bit of a fever. All that good stuff. But, I'm doing better now. I was feeling well enough to go to day care.

Today was the first day my mom had to go back to work. It was tough on her and me. But it's going to be OK. In fact, all day long I kept fussing so my teachers would hold me. They're like putty in my hands.

Anyway, my dad made this photo collage for his computer desktop wallpaper. I thought some of you might like to use it, too. For those who don't know how, just click on the small image above to open up the full size image. Then, right click on the big image and select "Set as Background."

Note: My dad made it for a 1280 x 1024 pixel display. (Whatever that means.) So if your settings are different, it might look a little warped. But that just makes it more fun, right?
