Dearest Joshua David~
Today you are 19 weeks old little fellow! Woohoo! Soon you'll be driving! ;-)
We had a busy morning .... I took you to your 4 month check up appointment with the pediatrician. :-) You're now:
Weight: 10 lbs 4 ozs
Length: 22 1/4 in
Head Circumference: 37 3/4 cm
The pediatrician was impressed by you! She stated that you were "socially" like a 4 month old .... following with your head/eyes and smiling. :-) Your motor skills were closer to a 3 month old, but that's still higher than expected (since you're a corrected 9 weeks). She said you were growing well. She even stated that she got "distracted by your cuteness" because she almost forgot if she had checked your ears or not (she had, but was about to check them again!). :-)
She said the amount that you're eating is fine for your age/size, and I should continue with the multivitamin once a day until the breast milk is almost gone. You got about 4, or 5, shots. You cried, but stopped once I picked you up. :-) You got two "Bugs Bunny" band-aids (one on each leg).

You were more fussy than normal this afternoon. I don't know if it had something to do with all the shots. You started to calm down once daddy got home and into the evening. I held you the majority of the afternoon and just tried to rock you to sleep and made sure you were comfortable.
You don't go back to the pediatrician's office until April for your 6 month check up.
Well, so far so good .... you continue to be a healthy little guy! What a blessing! :-)
I love you!
