4 Month Checkup

On Tuesday we went for Gavin's four month doctor's appointment.  It was a little different than usual because the doctor had a student working with him - much to Gavin's delight.  It was so amusing to watch him. Once he got used to her, he flirt up a storm.  Smiling, squealing and batting his lashes.  Too funny!

He's growing like a weed. I was delighted to see Gavin weigh in at 12 lbs 4 oz, and a length of 56 cm.  My little boy is growing so fast; almost 7 pounds since birth!

After his checkup, and the normal "first time mom" questions, it was time for his immunizations.  I must say, he is such a little toughie.  Of course, he cried. What do you expect, being jabbed with those awful needles? And not once, but twice.

Once we were back outside, I rocked him and walked him, wishing to take away his pain.  It was only a few minutes when he cooled down, and quietly curled up in his car seat, peacefully falling asleep in the back of the truck.  As I buckled myself in, I let out a sigh, feeling the delay of my heart breaking.  I held in my tears, while I also felt a smile at the corner of my lips.  "That's my boy - he's stronger than his Mama".
