Today Grant went to the pediatrician for his 4 month visit. It was exciting to hear that he is in the 90% percentile in height! (He hasn't really been "above average" in anything yet, so that was fun to hear.) The doctor also said he was extremely strong and appeared developmentally ahead. Yeah!!
She did say that he was one of the most active babies she's ever seen. :) No surprise there. He is in the 25% for weight, so at least he's holding steady at this point. He has eczema all over his body, which has been getting worse over the past month or so, so she finally gave us some topical medication to try for that.
The bummer part of the visit is that she confirmed what Jim and I had noticed in Grant's left leg when he jumps in his bouncer. Something is not quite right. She thinks that one leg is longer than the other. The side of his left foot his the ground instead of hitting straight on. So, she referred us to an orthopedic surgeon.
Please pray:
1. That Grant's leg/foot problem would be healed!
2. That Grant's eczema would go away.
3. That Grant would eat solids with ease.
Thank you!

Hi Shannon, Jim and Baby Grant,
We so laughed at Grant "attempting" to feed himself. I remember when Michelle started on solids...and Rog being a "neatnick" wanted to know ...If he could feed her in the shower in her high chair...then he could wash everything at once! I told him that might fall into the catagory of "inhumane" but he was tempted!
We are praying for our gracious and faithful God...to provide each need...abundantly!
By the way, What a great family!
Love,
S & R

Hi Shannon,
There is nothing worse than being sick and being a Mom!
We ask God to set your mind free from worry and give you wonderful rest and restoration. Spring is coming!
Blessings,
