Wyatt had his 4 month check up yesterday and this is how it went. The Dr. comes in (yes, the very goodlooking Dr. Jackson) and he just is smiling and say "man, he is a big boy!" So he suggested that we start looking for a new carseat since he is pretty much out grown the one he has now. Then he tells me his head is normal size. Good! His height is 26 inches long that is the 90th percentile. Then we get to his weight, he is 18lbs 4oz!!! That put him in the 97th percentile in weight. Hello he is a tank, there are 1 year olds that weigh that. So again Dr Jackson just tells me I'm doing a wonderful job he looks great. But he also told me about a 6 year study about moms who chewed gum like Trident and it helped with the babies teeth. So I will be going and buying some trident gum, but it only helps if you are breast feeding so if your not you can chew it for yourself but it wont affect your kids.

Don;t worry. Coleman was a chunk too. Eeryone gave me so much crap for it, but as soon as he started walking he totally thinned out. Its cute anyways!
Wow! That is a big boy. Delma is 8 1/2 months and weighs 16 lbs 2 oz. Kiara didn't make it to 16 lbs until she was a yr old. Our pediatrician is Dr. Jeff Jackson, is that the same one? - Jan
Trident! Darn, wished I would have known. Would have saved me some money in dental bills! :)
He is an awesome Dr. He never makes me feel like an idiot for the questions I ask. And always takes my concerns seriously. Small world! - Jan
