4 weeks old

We went to the doctor on Weds for Bo's 4 week check-up. Boy does time fly by. The doctor said he is thriving and Mommy is doing a great job breast feeding. Keep up the good work and we don't need to come back for another 4 weeks. She did give us some medicine to help the little guy with his (what we think is) acid reflex. The doc said it is fairly common with babies and not much you can do about it. Try to keep Mister Bo upright for 30-45mins after eating.
He weighed in at 10lbs 3ounces and was 21.75inches tall. Both of these were in the 70 percentile for his age which is about the same percentile he was when he was born so we are on a good pace.
I think we have noticed a slight increase in how much he eats and a little more frequently as well. The doctor said around 3-4 weeks babies usually have a growth spurt which cause this. He is sleeping fairly well too but I'm sure Mommy differs a little on that. At night he will sleep for 5hrs straight on occasion which is awesome.

Here is a picture of him sleeping peacefully while he watches with Daddy the USA beat Spain 2-0. The other picture is the Woodworth clan at Aunt Beth's Graduation party. Bo's first party. I'm sure it won't be his last.
