Quincy had his 4 month appointment yesterday. It was very, very cold – in the single digits – and Quincy’s appointment was at 9AM, so we really had to bundle him up for the frigid air.
He currently weighs 15 lb 11 oz and is 26.25 inches tall. For you percentile fans, he is now in the 67th percentile for weight and the 89th percentile for height. His doctor said that he is still experiencing the accelerated growth period that newborns go thru. Normally, babies stop that at 2 months, but Quincy is/was still having that occur. The doctor believes he’ll end up being somewhere around the 75th percentile overall. We always knew that he was a long baby, and he just keeps getting longer!
Just when we get things down to a nice routine here at home, it is time to add something new and different. We got the go ahead to begin giving him some rice cereal at one feeding during the day. So, this not only introduces spoon feeding, but also sitting in his high-chair (which has been christened by his cousin). Everything else with Quincy is going well. He received four needle pokes just like the last time, but he bounced right back from it. He slept a little bit more yesterday than usual, but he seems to be his normal, happy self today.
Quincy is getting excited about all the family that will coming to visit soon. You gotta trust me – I can just tell. 🙂 For those of you down South, I hope your weather is a bit warmer than ours. Even Ashby didn’t like being outside the other day when it was 2.5 degrees. I can’t say that I blame him. Keep warm everyone.
