14lbs of neck-sucking, milk-burping love


Trout got his 4 month checkup last week AND a chance to meet many of his Ants and Funkles at the 12/20 Holiday Partay. Checkup was great (14lbs+, 37 percentile size vs "avg" 4 month old, 95% vs. "avg." 2 month old) and horrible (5 shots...owie!). I've never actually seen a human being get so red in the face, I fully expected to see steam coming out of his ears when he got pricked. The next day he got snazzed up and hit the party scene at the Ash's, meeting many of the folks who have helped us get to this point, making us food, helping us move, buying clothes, praying, etc. He was so grateful he fell right asleep. Unfortunately our pediatrician is recommending against a whole lot of public contact for fear he will catch cold but in a couple months hopefully he'll be crawling all over his extended family looking for an opportune moment to spit up some warm milk (see photo above).
In other news we got a Xmas tree set up in the Love Shack and received GREAT news from NYC where wee Kurt Gutensohn-Weidknecht the 1st was born to dear friend Katrina and her hubby Phil...I'm predicting Trout and Kurt will soon be pen pals. Happy Holidays all!
