We went in for his 4 month check-up today, and once again the doctor was surprised by his size. She showed me his growth chart and said he started out barely on the charts and has continued to go further and further away from the charts. Then she showed me today's mark and said, "Now, he's out here in his own universe!" My little four month old is now the length of a typical nine month old! He is 28 1/4 inches long and 15 pounds, 9 ounces.
The doctor did have some bad news for me. I told her that he is still refusing a bottle in hopes that she had some helpful tips. Instead she said that most of the time, if a baby is still refusing at 4 months, they will never take a bottle. Ack!! Oh well, considering he is absolutely a perfect baby in every other aspect, I'll happily take this little set back.
Charlie had a great time playing with the "baby in the mirror" while we were waiting for the doctor. He also loved kicking and moving on the crinkly paper.
