I have had a hard time making the time to update our posts so I am a little behind. Cole went to the doctor last week for his 4 month check up. His appointment kept getting pushed back so it was almost a 5 month appointment. Everything is going great. Cole weighs 16 pounds 12 ounces, I expected him to be bigger, and is 26 inches tall. He is in the 80th percentile for both his height and weight. The whole family came to the dr appointment because Annabelle had to have her ear re-checked. I wanted Brian to be there so when Cole got his shots one of us could take Annabelle out of the room, I didn't think she really needed to see that. When we first got there we undressed Cole so we could weigh him and afterward he was sitting on my lap with just his diaper on. Annabelle was walking around the room and walked right over to Cole and grabbed his nipple and twisted it - it was so hard not to laugh - Brian and I are both wondering where in the world she learned that. When the dr came in he looked in Annabelle's ear first. I told her she didn't have to cry because it wasn't going to hurt and she had to show Cole that is isn't scary - it worked and she didn't cry. Then it was Cole's turn. The dr looked in his ears - as he was looking in one Annabelle was trying to look in the other. Then the dr felt Cole's stomach - so Annabelle started feeling Cole's stomach. Everything that he did she wanted to try. Then came time for shots. Brian took Annabelle back to the waiting room and the team of nurses came in. He only had to get 2 shots and they do one in each leg at the same time. I was holding his arms and as soon as they stuck him he got this shocked look on his face. It literally took a few seconds for him to cry - they almost had the band aids on before he let out a cry. He whimpered for a few seconds and that was it - what a trouper! We also got approval to start Cole on rice cereal. He seems to be doing well with it. I just can't believe how fast he is growing - pretty soon he won't be our little baby anymore.
