4 month shots!

Last Friday Laura and I took Mason to get his 4 month shots.  We were a month late but the Pediatrician said it was okay.  Mason is approximately 27 inches long, weighs 17.6 pounds, and still has an above average sized head.

 While we were at the Pediatrician's office he decided to show us a line chart on his fancy laptop computer.  The chart consisted of various lines which represented different weights for children at Mason's age.  First he pointed to a line which represented the "average" child's weight.  Then he showed us a line which was way above the "average" line, and stated this is where Mason's weight is at.  So it was quite obvious the Doctor is trying to say our son is a little overweight.  I told Laura I don't care because how else are we going to keep his fat cheeks!? He seems healthy and happy so that is all that matters.

Overall, Mason is doing well and is a healthy 5-month old baby, despite his first cold.
