4 Month Checkup


Weight: 14 pounds, 12 ounces
Height: 25 inches
Carter's checkup went ok, except for the entire hour we spent in the waiting room!  Ugh!  I did have time to give Carter a bottle and Grace had time to learn how NOT to act in the waiting room (why are there always so many wild kids there?).  So, our time wasn't completely wasted!  The doctor upped his Zantac dosage for GER.  And, I found out that Carter has Syndactyly (sounds like a name for a dinosaur).  The webbing between his second and third toe is extended, so he might  need surgery to correct it, if it interferes with his ability to walk. Fortunately, the doctor said that this in not associated with any kind of syndrome (usually it is).  And, all this time I just thought he had his daddy's feet!  I am not worried about it.  I obviously wish that we didn't have to deal with this.  I don't want Carter to have surgery, but I know that there are many parents who hear much worse news from their doctors.

Just went back to look at Charlie's 4 month-he was only 14lb 2oz & 24 1/4" long. You think Charlie's thighs are big...let's see Carter's in 2 months!! :)

Ha! I love those fat little legs! Carter is starting to get some rolls and we haven't started him on food yet! Uh-oh!
