Mario at four months

Fourteen pounds 10 ounces of total cuteness. 


Here's the latest note from the doctor:

"He is now 4 months old and has been, I am told by the caregiver, been doing fine in the time since he was seen for the last time. He is active and alert and shows a steady growth. I am told that he is a happy little boy who shows interest and interacts with what surrounds him, will listen when spoken to and responds to the different tones of voice he hears. He is very vocal himself and will make many cooing and some babbling noises of his own. He vocalizes laughter and eagerness as well as his feelings of pleasure, smiling in anticipation when he sees his bottle. This little one now shows good control of his neck muscles and keep the head straight in the midline when pulled to the sitting position, with minimal bobbing, reaches out and grabs things that he will then put into his mouth. He now, when on his stomach, lifts his head clear form the bed. The caregiver tells me that this little one takes well his formula and is also receiving his ordered vitamin supplement. Upon evaluation today I found him in good health with a normal physical exam his weight is 14 lbs 10 oz, length of 58.3 cms and head circumference of 41.2 cms. He received today his second dose of DPT and HiB."
