4 month doctor's visit

Today Ryan went to see Dr. Steele for his 4 month check up -- we're pleased to report that he's quite healthy and growing on schedule. Dr. Steele confirmed our hunch that Ryan's likely to be built like his daddy, long and lean.

Ryan currently weighs in at 13 lbs, 15 oz, (so call it 14 lbs), and is 25.25 inches long. He's in the 70th percentile for height, and the 40th for weight. Ryan, it looks like chicken legs may be in your future after all.

Ryan also is starting to nap better during the day (keep your fingers crossed that that trend continues) and pretty soon we'll start on solid food. We're planning to take it slowly since daddy was allergic to so many things as a kid, but rest assured that we'll soon be posting photos and videos of messy faces. :)

Last, but not least, Ryan took his vaccinations today (four shots!) like a star -- just yelped a little bit. While the band-aids below are girlie, I assure you that Ryan took them like a man.
