Four Month Check-Up

Nolan had his 4 month check-up tonight and also helped Dad celebrate his birthday! The appointment went well and the pediatrician said Nolan is doing great. He said we could start giving him rice cereal once a day. (UPDATE: Nolan had rice cereal for the first time today. Click on Video Clips to see what he thought of it.) I have a feeling Nolan is really going to enjoy that! Nolan is still off the charts for height and weight. He's in the 97+ percentile for both. The doctor's growth chart only goes up to 97% and Nolan is above that!? Nolan handled the 4 month vaccines much better than the 2 month vaccines. Dave made the comment that you know you're getting old when your son gets "shots" on your birthday and you don't! =)

Starting today, Nolan has been rolling over like crazy from his back to his stomach. Just on the exam table alone tonight he rolled over three times!

Nolan is hopefully at the tail end of his cold. He's had it almost two weeks, but the pediatrician said that despite all of Nolan's coughing and congestion, his lungs sound good, ears are clear, and he doesn't have a fever. So we're hoping that he shakes this cold very soon!
