Yesterday Jack had his four-month checkup. He’s 25 inches tall now, and 14 pounds (which puts him between the cats still: Max is about 10.5 pounds, Jemba about 14.5). His head circumference is still growing at a normal rate, thank goodness, so there doesn’t seem to be anything to worry about there any more. Actually, I stopped worrying after the head ultrasound; seems like they would have found a problem then if there was one. The doctor just figures his head grew rapidly in the beginning and then slowed to its normal growth pattern.
I forget the percentiles for that height/weight: I think 50th height (maybe he won’t be so short after all?) and 20th in weight.
He had the same vaccines as last time: rotovirus and 4 shots. When he gets the shots he has a cry I never hear at any other time, a “man that hurts!!” kind of cry. But he was fine afterwards.
Last time he ended up with a fever of 102; so far no fever this time, yay!
ETA: Of course, right after I posted that I took his temperature again and he did end up with a slight fever (101). But I gave him a dose of baby Tylenol and he was fine.
