4 Months

Christopher is officially 4 months old today. It's hard to believe we've been parents for that long already. Christopher and I just got back from his 4-month checkup at the pediatrician's office. He's doing great. He is right on target for a preemie, and just below 'normal' on the growth chart for full term 4 month old babies. PTL!!! The doctor said if he keeps growing at this rate, he'll catch up to kids his age sooner than a lot of preemies do. Thank you for all your prayers - they're working! =) Developmentally, he's doing all the things he should for his adjusted age of 1 1/2 months, and is ahead of schedule doing a couple things that 4 month olds do, like rolling over. Thank the Lord for His continued blessings - our little miracle is rapidly growing into a big one. He is 9 lbs 10 oz. - 6 more oz. to go and he'll be x4 his birth weight. Amazing. He also received 4 shots this morning - no fun. Poor baby. Hopefully he won't be too miserable and fussy from those. The last big news is that he gets to try cereal tonight...we'll see if he's interested in it or not...and let you all know.
