4 month stats

Owen turned four months old this week, so we headed to the doctor this morning for his well baby check-up. He's doing great, and really growing. The stats are:

Height: 25" (50th percentile)
Weight: 16 lbs., 10 oz. (90th percentile!)
Head: 42.5 cm.

We decided to change up Owen's vaccination schedule for safety reasons and the nurse was really accommodating in helping us to think through the best way to do that. Owen got 2 shots today instead of 3 shots and an oral vaccine. We'll make up a couple at his 9 month appt. when kids usually get none, and skip some altogether. Because we are exclusively breastfeeding, he is well-protected against sickness anyway, and we are just not convinced that little babies need all of that stuff pumped into their tiny bodies. It's controversial, I know, but wanted to mention it because a lot of parents don't realize they have a choice regarding their own children and the vaccinations they are given. Just wanted to raise a little awareness!

Because it has gotten so chilly (and boy are we glad it cooled off!) Owen is now wearing his warm hat when needed.





















And here are a couple of bath pictures.
