Happy 4th of July!
Ezekiel turned 4 months old on 4th of July weekend!
Ezekiel had his 4 month well visit check up at the doctor this week (except he was already 4.5 months!) He's now 10 lbs., 9 oz., and 23 inches long! His height is finally on the very bottom of the growth chart, but his weight still isn't quite there. His pediatrician isn't using an adjusted chart because he doesn't consider him a low birth weight baby. I, however, don't think it's fair to treat him as a 4 month old because he only had 7 months of growing in me so I think he's doing great considering he's only 2 months adjusted!
On Sunday, July 4th, we took him to the church nursery for the first time. Ezekiel had been waking up the last 2 weeks during church. I was able to keep him happy with his pacifier, but it was hard to listen to the sermon while pretty much worrying the entire time that my kid was going to start wailing. Originally I stopped by the nursery to ask what age they start to take babies. I wasn't going to sign him up but the staff said I could sit with Ezekiel for the first week or two if I wanted. I was still hesitant, but we went ahead and tried it out.
Last Sunday Ezekiel was asleep in the car, and wasn't due to wake up for another hour. For the 4th week in a row he woke up as we were walking into church! It's as if he knows whats coming! I was going to just bring him into church with us, but decided to hand him off to the nursery since he was wide awake by the time we got there. It was the first time leaving him with "strangers". I was nervous the whole time, but when I went to pick him up an hour later to go nurse him he was happily swinging away!
In unrelated baby news I tried a few recipes recently that were pretty good. Good enough to add to my regular repertoire. You should check them out if you're looking for something new!
