4 Month Well-Check

We had Torin in for his 4 month check up today and here are the stats:

Height - 24 1/2 inches - 50th percentile
Weight - 15 lbs 11.5 oz - 75th percentile
Head Circumference - 17 inches - 75th percentile

He has been cleared to start rice cereal and once he is eating more than he's wearing :) we'll slowly introduce some fruits and veggies. The pediatrician also said that he shouldn't need to get up as much as he is at night to eat, so we are going to slowly start sleep training him. He should be able to sleep a five to six hour stretch at night now and he still doesn't go more than three hours at a time. At his 6 month check up the doctor will want us to have him sleep an eight to nine hour stretch. So starting tomorrow night (he had shots today so I'm not starting tonight) we will begin sticking the passy in and not feeding him at his 1:00 A.M. feeding. Here's to me hopefully sleeping more in the next week! Overall he still is very healthy other than the eczema. The doctor is still hopeful Torin will grow out of it. We are continuing the steroid cream and aquafor treatments as long as they take care of his flare-ups.

Once of my BBC friends' baby girl is extremely ill in the NICU right now. She is fighting for her life and each day is touch and go. I am so blessed to have this healthy little boy in my life and am reminded how precious life truly is. Please pray for baby Gabby and her family during this difficult time.
