doctor updates

This week has started with a dentist appointment for Jay. It's kind of one of those things you need to do to make sure your kids are healthy. I never know how he will react to different places, but our first time last July wasn't bad, so I didn't think this one would go too bad. I was right!!! Jay got the royal treatment and was able to go into a separate room from the rest of the kids since it was busy. He was able to watch a movie as the Hygentist cleaned his teeth. I don't even know if he knew someone was messing in his mouth. Jay came out with a clean bill of health and no cavities. Yay!!

While at the dentist, I asked if we should look out for anything with Mason. She informed me that sometimes Down Syndrome babies are slow to develop teeth. They also could have too many or too few teeth. News to us.

The second doctor's appointment was Mason's 4 month check-up. It's crazy how big he's getting and how he is growing.

To date: 

Weight: 11 lbs 5 oz (3%, DS 40%) 

Height: 23 inches (3%, DS 25%) 

We also decided that it was time to contact the ear, nose and throat doctor about his ears. Hopefully we can get some tubes to drain the fluid. Look for those updates soon. As normal, this appointment came with two shots. The first he didn't make a peep, but smiled at me. The second, he screamed, but was quickly quiet afterward. All in all, Mason is doing well and there is nothing to worry about with him.
