4 Month Old Brockers

Brock you are now 4 months old. Mommy can hardly believe it. We took you to Dr. Pruitt for your 4 month check up and you are a healthy boy. BIG and healthy.

You have been a little bit more fussy than normal here and there. Not too bad though. For the most part you only really cry when you are hungry, and fuss when it's time for your naps, which you still take 4 a day. The doctor says you could possibly be teething will all the drool you've been producing. (holy cow the drool) He also checked your ears and your left ear drum is sucked in a little bit, but he said it is nothing to worry about right now. He listened to your heart and your bowels. Checked your eyes and your manhood. He found some skin down there that was pulled up and stuck in an odd way and he had to pull it down. You let out a loud grunt when he did this. Nothing major to report. Overall you are very healthy. You got your 4 month shots and you did not like them this time around. You cried for about 2 minutes. But not too bad, just more than last time.

Laughing at the doctor's office

This is what happens when daddy tends you. You were such a good helper, helping daddy fold the laundry that you wore your self out and fell asleep right in the middle of the towels.

Taking a nap with daddy.... shhhh don't wake daddy

And last but not least, well maybe least... some blow out pictures. I know!! GROSS!!! But they were the worst ones yet so I had to document. The top two were from yesterday. That is how you woke up. I heard you in your crib just jibber jabbing away so I got up and went in to get you and the stench was horrible. I pulled you out to find this:

Down your legs and up to your neck. Good morning to you too! And you were happy as could be. Silly little monkey. There was no trying to get out of a trip to the bath. Poop was every where. YIKES!!!

The one below however was a couple of weeks ago. I heard you over in your bouncer just a tooting away. I asked daddy if you were pooping or just farting. He went over and checked and said, I think he's just farting I can't see anything. So he went to class. I came over and picked you up and this is what I found. WHAT??? How could you miss this? Ha ha ha. Very funny daddy. And yes, another trip to the tub.

We love you little man, poop and all! Happy 4 months!
