4 month checkup

We went to Dr. Welle yesterday. This is our new peds doc. Dean and I both liked him and bottom line he is a good doctor and we were comfortable with him, so that is what is important. Jonah is doing great, "perfect baby" were his words to be exact. He did say that he feels he has a pretty severe case of GERD, but it seems to be pretty well controlled. He did ask us if we keep him elevated after feedings (we do) and if we have him sleeping at at least a 30 degree incline on his back (we do). So we got points for that! :)

Jonah has obviously done well on the "ad-lib" feedings and although he has been spitting up like crazy, alot of it must be "sticking" because he is up to a whopping 17 lbs, 7.2 ounces (86th percentile). He is up to the 24th percentile for height (24 inches) and his head is gianormous at 45 cm (97th percentile)...no wonder his hats seem a bit snug!

I also tried to bring bella and Dan to the vet yesterday (with Jonah)...yikes! I did have to call Dean to meet me there. Bella got out of her collar and dan was on my lap trying to eat another dog and Jonah was getting cranky after his shots! It must have been a sight!!! :) Bella has a strained ACL so rest and relaxation for her is the doctors order. Hopefully it doesnt get worse and tear because then she would need surgery! poor bella!
