Wendell's 4-month checkup was today. He weighed in at just 3 oz more than last month, which is not good. (He's now at the 25th percentile for weight, down from the 50th percentile last month and the .) On the bright side, his head is bigger, he's longer (97th percentile there!), and his muscle strength is developing pretty well. The plan is to pump at night before going to bed (because he's sleeping 10+ hours at night) and give him that bottle the next afternoon to try to get a little more milk into him. He gets another weight check next month.
In other news, Iris is enjoying Spanish camp; Ben's sister has been visiting and is helping look after the kids; we had a nice day trip to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium; the garden is yielding pattypan squash, green beans, and tomatoes; and I've been obsessed with figuring out how we can bike places as a family next spring (inspired by Emily Finch and this guy with 5 kids on a bike.)
