Well Brode was 4 months yesterday! It seems to be going so fast, I feel like he was just 3 months. They're only going to get faster from here!
We went to the doctor today for his check-up. I knew he would have to get shots so it wasn't going to be a good day, but we ended up getting a whole list of things. We went on a little trip before his appointment to visit Grandpa at worked which he found very interesting.
We finally got to the doctor and found out that he is 13lbs 13 oz, and 25 and 3/4 inches long! He is still extremely tall for his age. After that we had to sit down and talk about many things. He seems very healthy, but we can't get to the bottom of the diarrhea issue so they may need to check for infections. He got a prescription to put on his cheeks and forehead and hands because he has very dry and irritated skin from drooling and scratching. We got some suggestions to help with his diaper rash from all those dirty diapers and some new soap to use to help that dry skin on his hands and things. He got 3 shots today and seems to be doing a lot better than last time, he isn't in as much pain and is still playing and things, but still extremely tired. Lastly, she suggested he get a CT Scan for his weird forehead. They figure it is just how he is and how it was inside, and just needs to pop into place, but they want to look at it to make sure it isn't something wrong with the growth. I didn't really mind this because then we'll know, but it turned into chaos when they scheduled it for my 3rd day in the morning because they dont do them in the afternoons. Lucky for me all my classes are in the morning. He also needs to be listened to by his doctor a couple days before hand so that they know he is healthy for sedation so we have that appointment too. With all this going on it is not a good week to start day care and having to be pulled out already!

It could be entertaining!
Don't you just love his blue eyes and eyelashes!
