William's 4 year check up

William had his 4 year wellness on February 16th. He has been to the doctor's office a couple times over the last year, but a pretty healthy year. Stomach bug a couple times, colds here and there, but nothing is popping into my head that was too awful. 

He took a vision and hearing test, which he passed. Then we waited for Dr. Middleton for his general check up. William and Dr. Middleton chatted and made sure we didn't have any questions or concerns. Then the dreaded shots. He had FOUR shots, which didn't sit too well. It's much easier to give a baby a shot than a 4 year old that knows exactly what is coming. We had to hold him down because he was screaming. It was the anticipation of the shot that hurt more than the actual shot. He stopped crying when the nurse said he could go pick out candy and a sticker. 

The week after the shots he wasn't acting his usual self at all. He was very grumpy and was testing us. I called the office because I thought it was so unusual and they said two of the shots are live viruses, so he was likely feeling poorly - thus acting out. The following week was much better.

And of course the stats. Here are his 4 year old stats:

Weight: 44 lbs / 94%

Height: 44" / 98%

Year of the 4's! Growing fast, William! Hopefully we don't see Dr. Middleton until his 5 year wellness visit :)
