4 month update

We went to our 4 month appointment on May 16th. Elliot now weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces and is 24 and 1/4 inches long. His head is 40 cm round. He is now in the 25% for both weight and height. He is growing well but still the "little peanut man" as my parents say. He got 3 shots and was not happy. They made him irritable for 2 days. The doctor said we could start solid food if we want but I told him we are going to wait at least another month due to prior stomach issues. We are trying white grape juice to help with constipation (hopefully it won't hurt his stomach like the pear juice). He will be starting vitamins as well. On a great note...he is sleeping through the night. This is night 5 where he slept from 8:30pm-6:00am. Dad is super happy because Elliot dropped the feeding he had to get up for. The teething process has started but a tooth is a long way away.
