Update on the E-Man

Ezekiel had his 4 month check up today with Dr. Tony. He weighs 19.8 lbs and is 26.5 inches. He falls into the 98th % of both. Dr. Tony took one look at him and said "whoa. That kid is a bruiser! What have you been feeding him?"

I got in trouble with Dr. Tony for having Ezekiel still sleep in the bed with me. It would have been me and Marty getting in trouble except Marty sided with Dr. Tony and they ganged up on me. Dr. Tony says that if we don't get E. out of our bed now, he will still be sleeping there when he is 2 or 3 years old. I say whether he gets out of my bed now or later - he won't be there when he is 16! Plus, he is so comfortable in our bed and it is so easy to do things like feed him when he wakes up!

Ezekiel had to have 4 shots today. It is terrible when they get the shots. The nurses do two at a time (one in each leg). E. sobbed like I have never heard him sob before. He is sound asleep now (in my bed) with no fever or anything so that is just wonderful. After the shots, we all went on a five mile hike and E. slept almost the entire time. He woke up just long enough to "meet" two pups on the trail.

Ezekiel did a full roll tonight! His first that was fully intended. Only problem was, I got so excited that I started yelling and clapping and scared the crap out of him. He cried; I soothed; he didn't roll again.

Well, as my intention was to go to bed early tonight, I'm heading back in.....
