Lowell, my little shrimp

14 pounds even, 25.75 inches long, 25th percentile, 4 months old.

I guess I should add that he’s falling behind in the milestones he should have reached by now. For one, he should already be rolling over and two, he should be able to hold up his upper body with his arms straight when on his tummy. Phooey is what I say to those. I know exactly why he can’t do them and I, frankly, don’t care. He cannot do those two things because we are always holding him and he’s nearly always swaddled. I am sure he will catch up as the need to swaddle decreases and as James learns to be more careful around the baby.  Sometimes I think the pediatricians at one point sat around and came up with all of these things just to make another way to cause anxiety in young parents.  Well, it isn’t working for us this time.
