Ashland 2.0

Ashland turned 4 month old yesterday! …and he had his wellness check-up today! He is doing very well, except of course, his weight dipped in the growth curve, just like his sister’s did. Our new doctor here in the area is really nice though, and we like him a whole lot (and he seems much more sensible about the weight issue than our pediatrician in NoVA). Anyway, Ashland will go in for another weight check in about 2 weeks to make sure he is gaining wieght and not loosing them. I can’t remember the exact measurement but he is now 50 percentile in height, 10 percentile in weight, and 10 percentile in head circumference.

He got minor fever from the vaccine and slept most of the day, except for this brief moment when he was happily playing in the bouncy. He enjoys reaching out and grabbing things and making the little wheels turn. He doesn’t like the blinky lights and music though (which his sister keeps turning it on for him!). I’ve noticed that Ashland has a very sane level of tolerance for annoying lights and sounds (about as much as adults — not much!) which is a stark contrast from his sister who loves blinky lights and electronicky sounds and seems to believe that lounder IS better…
