4 months old and rolling over!

Brady has his 4 month checkup on October 6. He weighed 17 lbs, 8 oz (90th percentile) and was 25.75 inches long (90th percentile). His head is 16.5 inches (50th percentile). He got an A+ for both his physical exam and his development. He had a mild cold and some fluid in his ears so we didn't do the shots that day. All in all it was a good visit. Brady is healthy as a horse (minus all the colds we've picked up from day care).

And now for the great news, he rolled from his back to his stomach. This milestone was accomplished on October 14 at 4 months, 11 days old.  Unfortunately he did it at daycare :( I went down to feed him that day and Ms Kala said, "Let me ask you a question...when Brady does stuff for the first time, do you want us to tell you, or not tell you and let you see it for yourself at home?"

I thought about it and told her that I did want to know. I thought that was the end of our conversation and then Ms Kala said, "WELL.....he rolled over!" Ah man, he has been trying for so long and he would get so close, I just knew it was gonna happen any day - but I was hoping I would be the first to see it. But, its OK, he did it again later that night and we got it on video. Now he's a rolling fool, we can't keep him on his back.

Since he didn't get his shots at his 4 month check-up, we had to go back in on October 15 to get them done. The nurse told me at his 2 month appointment, to mix up some sugar water and start giving him tastes of it about 20 minutes before his shots. So I did that and you know what??? It really helped him. He only cried during his shots, then he immediately calmed down and never got fussy again the rest of the night. This was a much different story than his 2 month shots, so I really think the sugar water helped (as strange as that is).
