Bigmouth Strikes Again
Friday was Ezra’s 4-month birthday, as Kalab wrote about on the birthday.
To celebrate the big day, Ezra went out for lunch with me and Auntie M, who was visiting for the weekend from DC. It was a fun lunch - Ezra enjoyed looking at all the bright lights and all the people. I don’t know how he felt about what I had for lunch.
Then after lunch, to celebrate more, we went to the doctor! For four more shots! What a fun way to spend a birthday, right? Ezra was a really great sport, and he put up with everything like the brave baby he is. He’s weighing in at about 14 lbs, 2 oz, so he is just 1 lb 2oz shy of doubling his birth weight. This is one of the milestones a baby should reach before starting solids, according to Doctor lady. It generally coincides with the baby reaching 6 months, so Ezra’s right on schedule and will probably start getting some solids in a couple months.
Before the shots, Ezra was babbling and making all his cute noises for the nurses and for Doctor lady, and smiling his big toothless grin. Doctor lady pointed out Ezra’s swollen, teething gums and said he would probably be getting some teeth in that big mouth pretty soon. We’d pretty much figured that out since Ezra has been practically eating his fists every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. He’s totally almost gotten a whole one stuffed in his big mouth. Every time he does that, I think “Bigmouth Strikes Again”. Unlike in the song, I don’t think I know how Joan of Arc felt, but I do know that I feel pretty proud : )
