4 Month Progress Report


Henry went today to see his pediatrician for a final visit before moving back to Portland. Even though it's 6 days early for his four month check-up this visit counted as that check-up. His vital stats are: weight - 13 lbs, 5 oz; height - 24 inches (which is what it was last time so I'm suspicious that he wasn't measured correctly either this time or last). These numbers put him in the 25th percentile for both height and weight among other 4 month olds. However, when adjusted for his prematurity, these numbers put him in the 50th percentile. So he's right on target - and has a nice and even height/weight distribution. Now I just have to find a good pediatrician in Portland although I doubt that will be much of a problem...if anyone knows of any homeopathic/holistic pediatricians, let me know! (They must be accepting of a limited and delayed vaccine schedule.) No new picture as the USB cord was accidentally packed already but I'm hoping that mom's memory card reader will be able to upload pictures from my camera onto the computer, so stay tuned. In the meanwhile, here's one of the wonderful pictures that Geoff took
