Yep, he's a BIG BOY!!

Just as I suspected, Ben is huge.  We had his 4 month well check today.

He doesn't know what's coming.  Poor little nugget!

I could tell that he was longer then both Sam and Ellie and that was confirmed today.  He is 26.25 inches, 87% height and he weighs a whopping 16.82 pounds and is 82% for weight.  Yes, a big boy indeed.  The other two were always below 50% on height so he is definitely longer then they were as babies.  Everything looked great and he actually did really well with the shots.  Cried for a couple minutes and he was done.  Shots with babies are so much easier then 5 year olds.  Seriously, when we took Sam for his 5 year shots the nurse had to tell him that he needed to stop crying because he was scaring all the other kids.  Yeah, it was a little ridiculous.  And I had a heck of a time even getting him in the car to go to Ben's appointment b/c he didn't want to be there when Ben got his shots.  As a result he and Ellie both sat in the hall while the shots were taking place.  

They actually did really well at the doctor office.

What you don't bring your ipad to entertain your children?  Sorry for your lack of judgement.  Ha!  Don't worry he lost all ipad privileges for the rest of the week soon after this picture was taken b/c he took off at Kohl's when we ran into grab something after the appointment.  I had something on hold and the conversation went something like this.  

Me:  Okay you guys this is going to be super fast we just have to run to the back and pick something up.  You need to stay right by me.

Children:  Okay, mommy.

I turn around to put Ben in the stroller thing and start walking.  Said children are nowhere to be seen.  

Me:  Sam, Ellie

Children:  Nothing, no answer

Me:  Turning panicked, continue to holler their names, still no answer. 

I turn around and walk the complete opposite direction we were supposed to be walking and here they come running out screaming and laughing.  Um, no, I'm pretty sure that does not qualify as staying right by me and making this a fast trip.  I don't mess around.  No more ipad for this guy the rest of the week.  This is going to be a long week for him.  He loves the ipad.  Sorry pal. 

Anyhow, the rest of the day consisted of meal prepping my food for lunches for the week, going on a walk with the kids, eating dinner and doing a family night on honesty.  Update you on my workouts tomorrow.
