Doctor, Doctor

My darling little (big) baby Benjamin is now four months old! At his appointment yesterday he weighed 17 pounds, 3 ounces and measured 27 1/4 inches long. That beats Max's four month measurements and I thought Max was big. It's 89th and 98th percentiles respectively. He was such a trooper for his shots but the doctor found an ear infection in his left ear. It surprised us because he's been happy like normal. Both boys have runny noses and Max has been sad at night so we had the doctor peek in his ears -- sure enough, Max's right ear has an infection again. We go back in 2-3 weeks to check how they are doing. Max was ticked when his ears were checked. He thought he was just going along to the appointment to support Ben.

Ben is such a big boy! Sounds like he's taking after his uncles. I'm so excited to see him next month :) Poor Max! He must have felt so betrayed. At least you didn't surprise him with a shot or anything.

It must be the season for ear infections-Abigail has a double ear infection-but Ella is ok. Ella weighs in at 14 lbs 6oz. Abigail only weighs 21 lbs 8oz. Ella is catching up:)

So cute Mary! Chase was 17 3 at his 9 month! Big babies are the best.
