4 month well-check-up

miles went to his 4month well-check on friday with dr. g. he was at his new clinic and it was quite terrible...we were there for 2hrs before we got to see the doctor! but the good news is miles is doing awesome. he weighed 14lbs 14oz. he was 25 in long. and his head circumference was 16.5 inches. the doctor thought everything looked good...miles laughed and laughed while he looked in his mouth, put the stethoscope on his chest, and felt his tummy. miles put on quite the giggle and wiggle show. the doctor says miles should start reaching for and grabbing toys anytime now and that we should give him plenty of opportunities to do this. he gave us a referral to a GI doctor to look into the continuing reflux issues.

miles is starting to pay more attention to what's going on around him. he acts very interested in conversations and will generally turn to look at whoever is talking. sometimes he gets upset if i leave the room and then gets excited and happy as soon as i return.

on saturday i had a volleyball tournament so miles and ross hung out for their longest stretch yet...from 7.30am until 5.30pm!! miles slept in until after 10am and then ross was able to bring him to see me so i could feed him a couple times during the day. other than that, they just hung out and ross even managed to do some housework for me at the same time! also ross left miles on his back watching his mobile, and returned to find him on his tummy sleeping. this is the first time he rolled from back to front. he has yet to repeat this but i'm sure we'll catch him in the act any day now. i have another volleyball tournament this weekend so i hope it goes just as well.

after my tournament, miles and i made a quick overnite trip to college station. he was passed around many loving relatives and had 2 small cousins who just loved to play with him! miles was so tired when we came back sunday nite from all that attention! he and i took a nap together from 6-8pm, then he had a quick snack and then slept until i woke him at 5am monday morning!

it's been 132 days but as of today i have officially lost all the baby weight! now i am off to work on my own weight! actually, i was eating a piece of pie and now miles just woke up...but it's the thought of the gym that counts, right?
