4 months old

So our little "charmer" (as he has been called on numerous occasions) is 4 months old (17 weeks) and is growing beautifully!  We had both a clinic and pediatrician appointment this morning and both went well. Zac was weighed and has officially doubled his birth weight at 6.2kg and is now 63cm tall. The little teeny tiny baba I gave birth to 4 months ago is growing far too quickly!

He also had to have 2 injections today which is always awful. My smiley happy baby lies smiling on the bed blissfully unaware of what's about to happen to him and it breaks my heart. And not only did he have one painful jab in his small thigh, but two - one in each leg!  He also had to have drops which made his stomach cramp painfully last time so I'm praying it doesn't do the same again...

The paediatritian was very happy with him and says he is ready to roll over any time soon and is also very strong, lifting his head perfectly whilst on his tummy.  We decided to start him on solids next month at around 5 months old like his sister was. I'm excited about that and hope he takes well to veggies like Lily.

Loving this age so much and can't wait for the next few milestones with my precious mommy's boy!
