Rocco's 4 month Dr. Appt

We just got back from Rocco's 4 month checkup with Dr. Rahim.  He is still weighing in on the lower end of the charts but that is still normal due to his size at birth.  He is 3 oz shy of doubling his weight since birth which is where they like to see them at their 4 month checkup.  He got another round of vaccinations and he didn't like them at all!  At his 2 month checkup he sucked down the oral vaccination and this time around he had a tough time taking it.  He got a shot in each thigh, he screamed!!!  Poor little guy!  We got the OK to start applying sunscreen and bug spray (no more than 30% deet) as needed. Dr. Rahim has recommended that we see a plastic surgeon at Children's Hospital for Rocco's odd head shape, most of this is just precaution but he mentioned that his ears don't line up.  He thinks that the worst that could probably come of this is Rocco would be treated with a helmet to help reshape his head. 

Rocco fell asleep almost immediately after his shots and will probably sleep most of today!
