Baby Life - Week 18
Posted on February 28, 2007 - Filed Under Baby Life, Life
We just completed our 4 month doctor visit for Alex which resulted in a new series of shots. We have a very unhappy baby on our hands right now because he had to take needles in both thighs.
The good news is that Alex came in at 15lbs which puts him in the 50th percentile for weight, and his length is in the 75th percentile. So we have a long, lean baby.
We are changing some “bad” habits that have formed and this is also making Alex cranky. We used to pick him up right away when he would start crying and now need to let him cry for 10-15 minutes before we pick him up.
We are also making an effort to have him watch us closely while we eat our meals. This will get him ready for the switch to solid foods and he will clue us in to when he is ready to make the change when he starts smacking his lips together according to the doctor.

I enjoyed all those photos…What a great looking boy. I love the ones with Sean and Travis too. Really do enjoy going to website periodically and checking the family out. Especially being down here in Yuma.
Cant wait to get home and see all the grandkids. My best to you all.
