Weston went to his 4 month check up Monday and it was all good news once again! Dr. Albrecht is so sweet, I think he has a special bond with Weston since he was his last baby to deliver (he gave up his license and is now strictly family practice). He said Wes is waaay ahead for his age (he's probably going to be ridiculously smart!). Joking aside, he can already hold his head on his own, can turn from front to back and vise verse, can ALMOST sit on his own, makes great eye contact, and can talk up a storm. He now weighs 17.2 lbs and is 26 inches long (85% in his age grp). Just to give you some kind of reference, our friends baby (although she is petite for her age) just turned one and weighs 19 lbs. BUT, he IS a boy too so that does make a bit of a difference. Then there's the fact that we breed on the intent of raising the next Earl Campbell or Barry Sanders.
Weston also got his shots this week. Speaking of shots, they are one of my big worries for little Wes. There are a million different ways to do them (timing, grouping etc.) and every way has it's pros and con's but we decided not to delay them. Yes, it can cause Autism but the odds are against us and it hasn't even been proven completely that the two are linked together. The thing that scared me the most, I think, was the rising number of infant disease and death due to an increasing number of families delaying vaccines.
What else is new... oh yes! Weston is sleeping until 8:00 am!!! He still wakes up at 5, but if I nurse him and put him into bed with me then I can get another 3 hours out of him. This makes a HUGE difference for mommas sanity :)
