Little Guys 4 month well baby check

Little Guy is growing so well! He's up to 12.5 lbs and 23" long. Doctor and nurse both think he looks great! The parents were at the doctor visit today, but I was a little disappointed in how quickly they left after he had his shots. I let the bio-mom stand next to Little Guy during the shots, and let her pick him up and comfort him when they were done. But that only lasted a minute or so. She handed him back to me while he was still crying, and then they both left in a hurry.

But we gave Little Guy a bit of Tylenol before the appointment to ward off pain and fever, and he seemed to do better this evening. Another dose before bedtime, and he slept well and had no fever this time. I'm glad he didn't suffer quite as much as last time!
