Less than 3 months until his 4th birthday, little Tiger weighs in at an astonishing (ok, not really) 27 1/2 pounds. Tiger had to go to the doctor this week because of a minor case of croup, but is doing great now.
In case you’re wondering, those swim shorts are 12-18 months.
Every parent dreads taking their kids to see the doctor for something that can potentially be serious, but at times, we all have to do it. Tiger had many firsts today, although we’re definitely hoping he doesn’t have any seconds like this.
Tiger’s firsts:
-visit to the ER
-nebulizer treatment
-chest x-ray
-dose of antiboitics
After all of this, Tiger was doing as well as we could expect him to be doing. He didn’t have a clean bill of health just yet, but within a few days, he’ll be back to his normal, happy self. Thank goodness for modern medicine. Thank goodness for parental instincts. Thank goodness he’s okay.
I couldn’t resist and had to make a quick post about today’s final doctor’s visit. Tiger weighed in at 16 pounds, 5 ounces and measured at 26.5 inches long.
We’ve been pretty busy as of late trying to get everything organized for our move to NJ, so I haven’t had a chance to update the site as often as I would like, but we did get a chance to take Tiger to the doctor for his 6-month checkup. At the checkup, Tiger came in at 16 pounds, 1 ounce, measured 26 inches in length, and stayed at 42 cm for the circumference of his head (which I think is actually larger than last month, but I guess not).
Here’s a picture of him at the last checkup
The doctor also said that Tiger wasn’t teething just yet, but he could see where the teeth were going to come in. Dr. Efron also mentioned that we could start pureeing meat to feed him…but both of us thought that was way too weird and too soon for that. We’ll work our way down the fruit and vegetable family tree, proceed to tofu, and then go from there.
Another month flies by as Tiger gets his 5-month vaccines (which we almost got the wrong vaccines if Mama didn’t ask the MA). Tiger’s starting to plateau a bit and comes in this month at 15 lbs, 5 ounces (which isn’t bad considering he was sick all of last week). His length is now 25.5 inches and the circumference of his head is 42 cm.
It’s been a busy few weeks so we haven’t had a chance to take many pictures and update the blog, but hopefully things will calm down a bit and we should have more pictures soon.
Ry’s 4-month checkup and vaccination was today (can you tell from the picture how much he enjoys getting shots?) and everything went well. Ry now weighs-in at 14.7 lbs and is now 25 inches long. Not a huge leap from month 3, but everything checks out great, which is all we can ask. Ry is trying to talk more and more now and is also extremely alert (when he’s awake), as he’s trying to take-in everything around him. These next few months are going to busy (not just for his parents), but also for him, as we may try to give him his first taste of rice cereal in the weeks to come. Let’s hope he likes the rice cereal as much as his mom likes Half & Half’s boba drinks!
