Short and, well... Fat

Caleb went to his four month check-up yesterday. Poor kid. He was told he does have a deviated septum, but there is no need to do anything about it at this time. His hernia is still there, the doctor said that she would have liked to see it heal up a bit more, but it's not getting worse so its OK (umbilical hernias are not usually fixed until the child is at least two... sometimes until they are four or five). He has a new vitamin to take and it smells awful. Caleb had to have four shots and he didn't cry at all. Tough kid. He has been a lot more cranky than usual though. He weighs in at 15 1/2 pounds and is 24.5 inches tall. That puts him in the 75th percentile for weight and the 25th for height. The doctor laughed and said, "Someone has some thunder thighs." His head circumference is in the 50th percentile, so the kid is doing just fine.

On a side note... I left Caleb home with Daddy for the first extended period of time last night! I went over to Kay's house for Girls Night Out. Both survived and will have many stories to tell later, I'm sure.
