Sammy's 4-month well visit



Samson's well check went great today, aside from those vaccination-induced tears. He weighs 16 lbs, 12 oz (84th percentile) and he is 26 inches in length (85th percentile). He's a big boy!

It looks like Sam is following in his brother's footsteps in one small way. He is going to add a specialist to his list! Not nearly to the same extent, but we will be taking him to see a specialist in the next few weeks. He has had a little red bump on the side of his pretty face (you can see it in the above photo) since he was about two weeks old. We thought it was a little birth mark, or "beauty mark" of some sort until now. Dr. Judy thought it would be best if a dermatologist took a peek at it.

Her best guess is that it is something called a mastocytoma, which is a benign mast of cells that appears a lot on children and usually resolves on its own. I'm not worried. But like Dr. J said, it's best to get a diagnosis from an expert.

Tomorrow is Elijah's big cardiology visit! Guess who won't be sleeping tonight. Oh wait, I never sleep anyway! HaAAHHhaahahhahhhaaaa (maniacal, deranged laughter)!
