The Kuhn Family: Emerson's Four Month Check

Emerson had his four month check up and my how he's grown! In less than a month he has put on 3 pounds!! The doctor attributes it to his reflux being under control. With medications and the introduction of solids he is a whole new baby! He takes Prevacid twice a day and Bethanechol 2-3 times a day. He eats solids 2-3 times a day. So far he is eating oatmeal, rice cereal, and pears. He now weighs 16 pounds 5 ounces - 73rd percentile for weight. He is 24 inches long - 11th percentile for height. And his head is 16 3/4 - 83rd percentile for his head! I have a feeling he won't be in 3-6 month clothing for very long!! He wears a size 3 diaper which is the same size as Sawyer! And he has become a much happier baby! He still has a serious side, but he is not crying or screaming in pain any more! Thank goodness! Like the other boys he does have eczema. He has it on his face and body. We are hoping he is spared the respiratory issues that tend to go along with reflux and eczema! Emerson sleeps 6-7 hours a night, which is good, but boy am I ready for him to start sleeping in even longer stretches! He loves to play with toys! He enjoys his exersaucer, jumparoo, and play mat! He is showing many pre-crawling signs. He spins around when he's on his belly, he gets his booty up in the air and rocks, and he is getting frustrated because he wants to be moving! He brings us such joy! So grateful he is feeling better!!
