Hayden had his 4-month doctor check-up yesterday. He is in the 50th-percentile for both his weight and height. He measured in at 25" (he has grown 5" since he was born on June 1st) and weighs 15lbs (more than double his birth weight). He does not weight as much as I anticipated; but, he is certainly big enough!
He was very good during the appointment and tested his amazing grip on the roll of paper the doctor's office had over the bed...he just kept pulling and pulling and pulling paper off of the roll. The nurse said she hasn't seen such a grip on a baby this age!! The shots were not as traumatizing as the last lot (for me, at least)...Hayden still cried and screamed, but I did a lot better!! Hayden slept the remainder of the afternoon away and had another dose of Tylenol before going to bed last night.
As you can see from these pictures, he is starting to figure out how to get up onto his knees when laying on his belly. He can move himself backwards and, without realizing it, he can 'scootch' himself around. Early signs of crawling already!!
