Blog Catch up - Part 4: 4 Months Old




Kase turned 4 months old on July 5th. On Monday July 6th we went to his 4 month old check up. The nurse measured his height, weight and head. We then went back to our room. About 1 minute later another nurse came in and told us they had to remeasure his length. So we went back out to the scale and they got the same measurement. The first nurse put the measurement into the computer and he shot off the growth chart so they decided to remeasure in case he messed up the measurement the first time. It was correct. Kase is off the growth chart for height. 27 inches. He is also 17 pounds.

We spoke to the Dr about all of the issues we've been having. From constipation to diarrhea. At first we thought it was a food allergy. We switched to a hypoallergenic formula and it still didn't make a difference. A few days later he got better so Dr. Benbow believes it was a stomach bug. Kase received his 4 month old shots and took them like a champ. He slept alot during that afternoon.

Another big conversation we had with Dr. Benbow was about solid food. He told us to give him cereal with every bottle and he told us to start on veggies as soon as he has mastered solid food.

Yea for moving on to Veggies!!

I can't belive it's been 4 months already. They grow up way to fast :(

Big boy!!! Or at least a tall boy!

Gabriel is 16 lbs. now and 24.5" so he's in the 75%. I can't believe how tall Kase is!!! What size clothes is he wearing now?

It does depend on the brand alot... in some stuff he's all the way up to a 9 month. In most things we have to do a 6 Month though. lol we can get away with 3-6 month in 2 peice outfits though.
