4 month check up

Today was Brayden's 4 month check up. Unfortunatly I wasnt able to get off work so my mom had to take him. I was so worried about him with me not being there when he got his shots. Hes 19lbs 9ozs, 27 3/4 inches long. The doctor said hes the size of a normal 8 month old. LoL. I have a big boy! No wonder my hip has been killing me, its from carrying him around all the time!!! LoL.  My mom said hes did really good with the shots only cried for a second and now hes acting like nothing ever happened. She said he doesnt even act like his legs are hurting, but she gave him tylenol anyways. I cant believe hes 4 months old already! Last year I thought the day that I had a baby would never come and now here I am with a 4 month old! I guess after all the negative that happened during my quest for a baby it was hard to be positive. Somedays its still surreal. Im like is this really happening. Its hard to believe sometimes. When people told me to enjoy every minute because they grow up so fast I didnt realize how fast! The doctor said its ok to start giving him solids. She said anything but meats and to wait atleast 3 days in between new foods to make sure hes not allergic to them. Its so exciting!!!! I knew how much I wanted to be a mom but I didnt realize how rewarding and exciting the little things would be and I think that if I hadnt been though so much getting here I would have taken them for granted. Hes starting to roll over more often. It scares him most of the time. LoL Its really cute. And he grabs everything.......hair, glasses, toys, anything LOL So if you dont want him to have it you better keep it out of his reach. Isnt it amazing how much they learn in such a short amount of time!?!?! He tries his hardest to crawl but goes nowhere and after about 5 mins of going nowhere he gets REALLY mad....and starts screaming! LoL. Hes to the point now where Im going to have to start buying more toys because hes grabbing things and trying to figure things out and playing on the floor or playing with us isnt cutting it. So I have a few toys in mind that I want to get him...one that I think looks really cool it by bright starts and its called tropical fun around we go. Its kind of like a walker but is stationary and has a table of activities for him to play with heres the url if you want to check it out, let me know what you think....do you think hes still too little for it?    http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5412495 Im doing better after my episode getting the IUD. I havent had anymore problems. The only thing I dont like is the spotting which he said I could have for 3 or 4 months. Then he said hopefully I wont have a period anymore and if I dont they will be short and light. We'll see. My husbands trying to do more with Brayden. He has to watch him on Fridays....which is a big nightmare for me because he calls me at work every Friday with Brayden screaming in the background and hes yelling. Theres nothing I can do from work and it makes me feel awful. I dont know why he screams like that. He only does it with Dennie. He doesnt do it for me, my mom, he didnt do it with my aunt the other day and it was her first time watching him. He does it sometimes with Dennies mom but not too bad. I just dont know why they cant seem to calm him down. I dont know if they feel stressed and Brayden senses it....Im not sure. But I do know I cant handle him calling me every Friday making me feel like crap when hes the dad he should figure it out....or Im going to have to find someone else to watch him on Fridays. I just dont know who!!!! My mom goes camping every weekend during the summer so she cant do it and Dennies mom works. So I guess for now he'll just have to keep doing it. I just need to find a way to stay sane during it all. LoL. Well I better go. I think I've written a book. Hugs Monica.
