4 Month Checkup

Gibson had his 4 month check-up this morning. My cousin Lauren volunteered to go with me. Let's just say, it was a good thing. LeLe was wide open. The doctor's visit went something like this...

We took Gibson to be weighed. Again, the whole family had gambled on how much he would way. I guessed 17; Matt - 18; Pappy - 20; Bobo - 18; Lauren - 16.....Gibson weighed in at 15 lbs 8 ounces and was 26 3/4 inches long.

Dr. Huie enters the room.

LeLe - "What's your name?"
Dr. Huie - "Hey Laura...I am doctor Huie".
LeLe - "Hi Dr. Huie, I "WeWe" Holland...L - E - L - E"
Dr. Huie - "That's Great LeLe"
LeLe (as she holds her hand out) - "Nice to meet ya."
Dr. Huie - then proceeds to start checking out Gibson.

LeLe - "You "wike" my Baby Brother?"
Dr. Huie - "Yes, I like him"

He then goes on to say that Gibson is absolutely perfect. He says that he is over 95% in length and about 75% in weight. He suggests that we start feeding him baby food and wants us to be up to 2 feeding at 6 months. This is a little different than what we did with LeLe but I assume that it based on his size.

After he finishes checking Gibson out, LeLe wanted up on the table. Dr. Huie begins writing in Gibson's chart....and LeLe starts again...

LeLe - "Dr. Huie, can I color with your color?"
Dr. Huie - "In a minute when I am finished"
I then proceed to get a color out of my purse and hand it to LeLe.
LeLe - "Dr. Huie, can you draw me a picture?"
Dr. Huie - no response.
LeLe - "Dr. Huie, can you draw me a smiley face?"
Dr. Huie - Here you go LeLe, let me see if I can draw one upside down. He then draws her a picture.

LeLe - "Good Job Dr. Huie...want my crayon?"
Dr. Huie - "No LeLe, I need to write in Gibson's Chart."
LeLe - "Dr. Huie - Do you share?"
Dr. Huie - "Yes, but not until I am finished."

Anyway, as you can see, we had our hands full.

Dr. Huie was impressed with Gibson's ability to track him, roll over both ways and commented on his rat tail. He suggested to Gibson that he may want to grow some more hair. Overall, Gibson was the perfect 4 month old. He did give us some lotion for his eczema. Gibson also got 4 shots...and can now take .8 of Tylenol. He was very fussy the entire night....okay, fussy for him.
