4 Months

Today Ryder is 4 months old!!!!!!! How time flies by. We were up early last night due to Ryders' roar at 10:30pm. He had already broke free from captivity (swaddle). We started off the morning at the doctors office for his 4 month check-up and shots. Keep in mind we were there during his usual nap time. He was good the first half hour. By the time the doc was ready to give him 3 shots he was already crying uncontrollably. He didn't even seem to notice them. SO sad.

So the doctor told us to go ahead and swaddle the critter as long as we want. She said if he rolls over he will just roll himself back if he wants. He is able to roll both ways already. He perfected that this week. She told us to go ahead and give him cereal once a day at dinner. So that will be fun. I also inquired about his recent poor sleep patterns. She took a look at his gums and said they are swollen. She felt his teething may be a big contributer to his sleeping patterns. He was sleeping 10 hours straight threw the night by 2 months. I got a ittle spoiled. So we can give him a dropper of Tylenol each night while he is teething.

Lastly...his stats.
Weight 15 lbs (50th%)
Height 26 inches (90th%)
Head forgot inches-(60th%)
So we have a long and lean one, but healthy.
