Straight A's

Gus had his 4 month pediatrician appointment yesterday. He weighs 14.0 lbs and is 25 inches long. This puts him in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. He was quite charming for Dr. Hales until the two shots, which really ticked him off. Still, Dr. Hales said that he is healthy and gave him "straight A's."

Some of you know that Gus had blood in his stool two times in a row last week, but has not had it since then. Dr. Oates, another pediatrician in the practice who we also really like, had suggested that I get off milk products since it could have been caused by an intolerance to cow's milk proteins in my breast milk. But Dr. Hales thinks it's more likely that a blood vessel burst in? near? my milk duct since it only happened those two times in a row. He said it would be better for me to get back on milk so that if it happened again we might more strongly suspect that milk is the culprit. With me off of it, we'd never really know.
