Four Month Appointment and Swimming!

Yesterday we Tristan's four month appointment. We were so curious to see how much he has grown! At two months, his stats were 10.8 lbs (23%) and 23 inches (55%). Now, he has grown to 14.7 lbs (31%) and 26 inches (80%)! Long and lean! His head measurement is at the 55% so at least something is average :) The doc was very pleased with his development. Tristan LOVED the paper on the table that he had to lay on. He just kicked like crazy! Thought about buying some of that to bring home for him ;) Much cheaper than some other things! Tristan got an oral vaccine as well as two shots, one in each leg. The first didn't seem to phase him, but during the second, it seemed to hit what was happening, and he didn't like it at all! But, the crying/screaming didn't last long, thank goodness. He seemed very content when we got home. Played for a while and seemingly happy. Then...while was cooking dinner, I had him in there with me, he started to get whiny, but everytime I paid attention to him, he got very giddy and giggly. I picked him up and took him to the other room and he just got incredibly giggly -- more than I've seen before :) It was so funny. Then, he started giggling, crying, giggling, crying, back and forth. Finally, full-out cry. We weren't sure if it was just because he was tired or if it was because of the shots, so we decided to take a bath. We knew that if he enjoyed his bath, he was just tired. Sad to say, he just laid in the bathtub, not kicking or playing at all, so we came to the conclusion it was the shots :( He quickly went to bed, but today, he seems pretty much like normal :)

The other day, one of the camps left some kiddie pools, so we took one for Tristan. We filled it with water and had Tristan try it out. It was a little cold, so he didn't stay in too long. Next time, we will warm it up a little somehow :)

Here are some random pictures of Tristan:


Found this basket and thought a picture in it would be cute -- I was right! :)


Isn't he beautiful? Or handsome, I guess is the better way to ask it :)


When he first got in -- wasn't so sure!


Starting to enjoy it :)


There's a grin!


Nate's grandparents sent Tristan some birthday money, so we went out and bought Tristan something that someday he might really enjoy and keep him busy for longer periods of time! Right now, he's not so sure about it. It is a lot to take in! We found this at a consignment store, then saw the same thing at Babies R Us for twice the price, so we felt good about the consignment store price. We are frugal ;)
