WOW!! Joshua is now three days shy of 5 months old!! This little guy continues to be a joy in our home. Kateli continues to love on her little brother, and sometimes forgets that she's bigger than he is. Tonight she went to give him a kiss and hug, while he was in his car seat, and she basically just laid on top of him!! The little guy was not too happy about that, granted he's got his big sister on top of him, but add to that that he got 4 shots this morning at the doctor's. I took him in for his 4 month well baby checkup--yes, I know he's closer to 5 months now, but we had to wait on the shots. We originally had his 4 month well baby check up scheduled before christmas, but couldn't do it then because our little guy came down with RSV. He was sick through Christmas and coming out of it for New Year's. Now that he has recovered and is feeling all better, I took him in for his checkup. The little guy, who is not so LITTLE anymore, is now weighing 17 lbs 12 ozs, and measuring 25 3/4 inches; he is in the 75%ile for weigh and 50%ile for height. I'm not sure which explains his dropping into the 75%ile for weight (he was at the 90-95%ile at 2 months)--could be that he was sick for 2 weeks, or that he's just evening out and slowing down on his weight gain--who knows!! Nevertheless, the doctor said it's not to worry, he's growing fine, taking into account that when he was born at 6lbs 60zs, he was in the 5th %ile!!
Joshua is a giggle monster, he loves to smile, laugh and to tell stories!! He's not too fond of tummy time, but will last a good few minutes as long as there are lots of toys to entice him or if his sister is around to make him smile! He is grabbing at things and taking them to his mouth; but he prefers to kick at things rather than bat at them. He can also be content just sitting still playing with and watching his chubby hands! Here are some pics that I took of the kids today.
