Today Sayer went for his 4 month baby well visit. I am happy to report that my son is officially a Buddha Baby! He weighs 20.6 lbs. and is off the growth charts. He is 26 inches tall which is the 75% for height and his head measures 17 1/4 inches which is also in the 75%. This boy is growing... and fast.
Our doctor said that his measurements are what that of a 9 month old would be, but of course I already knew that because he is consistently in 9-12 month clothes.
We are going to start him on spoon fed rice cereal to see if we can curb his appetite somewhat and we are also going to decrease his bottle intake to only 32 oz. per day.
The good news is the Zantac that he put Sayer on for acid reflux seems to be helping. It definitely has stopped the blood curdling screams, the arching back and pulling of his knees to his chest.
Now if we can just get him to sleep longer through the night and take naps during the day, we'd be all set!

Wow. That is a big baby! Norah was big, but Sayer is (as you said) off the charts). My tiny little Lulu (at her 1 year check up a few weeks ago) was 30" (75%) and only 18 lbs 12 oz (5-10%). Crazy! Her 12 month clothes hang on her so I still have her in her 9 month ones.
So glad you all figured out the fussiness came from acid reflux -that explains a lot!
He's a cutie - we need to get the kiddos together soon.
