Aaron had his well-baby check-up yesterday. I am really enjoying our new pediatrician. Not that the other Dr wasn't great, but I am so happy we switched to Dr. Hankins. Nicholas and Celia really like her too.
Aaron measured the following at 4.5 months:
weight 14 lbs 12.8 oz (about 40%)
length 26.5 inches (90%)
head circumference head 43 cm (16.93 inches) (60%)
Developmentally he's doing great and she was totally fine with me delaying more vaccines until his 6 month check-up when I'll do 1 more. Thank goodness. I'm always nervous going against what the pediatrician recommends. She's so nice. I really like her a lot. She said I could stop nursing him at night now, but I don't think I will because I know he is very hungry at night and nursing him in bed isn't bothering me at all. She said we should keep him in our room at night until he is at least 6 months old -so in 2 more months we could transition him if we wanted. She recommended no solid food until about 6 months+ or so - which I'm fine with cause I don't think he is ready either.
His morning nap is pretty in place now. He wakes up about 7/7:30 am and then is back down for nap at about 8:15/8:30 until about 10:30 lately. Then the rest of the day he naps here/there but it isn't real reliable yet. He is real tired and ready for bed for sure by 8pm. Generally he wakes to eat at about 2:00am and 5am or so. Between him nursing and N&C waking up to pee at night (sometimes 2x a night), it can be a scattered sleep night, but I think by the time you've already had twins you learn to survive on less sleep. ha ha
