Cooper's 4 Months Old Today

Cooper is 4 months old today!

Corey took Cooper for his 4 month wellness check up.
Here's his 4 month stats:
Weight - 17 lbs 5 oz
Height - 26 in
Head - 17 in

Cooper also received his second Rotavirus and DTAP shots. Again, he did not cry!

Cooper has had some congestion and rattling in his chest for some time now. We have tried the cool mist humidifier, vapor rub, antibiotics, etc. You name it we have tried it - nothing has work thus far. So, the pediatrician wants to try a nebulizer and albuterol on an as needed basis. The pediatrician's diagnosis for right now is allergies. She says he is too young for his symptoms to be diagnosed as asthma. Let's keep our fingers crossed this works!

We also have noticed with the congestion Cooper has started spitting up more. Dr. Williams thinks this is because his acid reflux is getting worse and therefore prescribed zantac.

So he got his looks from Corey and his medical issues from me! Wonderful!

Side note, while I was typing this post Cooper rolled from his tummy to his back. He has been rolling over from his back to his stomach - so this is a first! Yeah!
