Ben Stats

Ben had his four week check up today.

He is 22 and a half inches tall = 75%
He is 11.2 oz = 75%
Head size - unknown as I can't remember what the measurement was but he's in the 50% for the head size.

He got one shot today, the Hep B shot. Next month he gets two. Ben sailed through the shot today by only crying for a few seconds and then he was fine.

The only instruction I received today regarding Ben was his eating schedule. Right now he's eating every 1.5 - 2.5 hours (approx. 4 oz, sometimes 2 oz. more). We've been instructed to give him 3-4 hours between feedings.

During the night he already does this, but during the day he seems never satisfied with the feedings he has. I think I may have mistaken Ben's boredom, or gassiness with wanting to feed. I think I may have overfed him. Ooops. Have already decided to stick to 3-4 hour schedule and give him a diaper change, a binky, or just face time/play time with Ben instead of the bottle. I do not want Ben to think bottle is his mother and comforter. :-)

There was a mother and her teenage son in the waiting room at the doctor's office who was not at all bashful about telling us how cute Ben was and asked how old he was. I was happy to hear that I am not the only one who thinks Ben is a cutie pie. He has very large, curious, soulful chocolate brown eyes. They make me think about what is most important to me.
