Healthy As a Horse

Andy's 4 month checkup went well. He's in the 97th percentile for weight and height, and 87th for his head. Suprising because that's no small melon on that child. In fact, there are some clothes he can no longer wear only because we can't get them over his head! We had been telling the doctor that Andy was rolling over a lot in November, but hardly at all lately. So of course when he laid Andy on his belly he rolled right over and bonked his head against the wall! Poor kid. Doctor Moore said it's probably about time to move him up to a convertible carseat, which we already have, but Andyman can't support himself well enough to sit up in a shopping cart. So what's a mother to do?? Well, after doing a little research I found this great item made especially for gigantic babies! It's called the Prop'r Shopper, by Leachco. Picture your normal shopping cart cover, but with pillows built into the sides to wedge your child into, so that he can't tip over. Ingenious. Just arrived at our house yesterday, so maybe we'll give it a test drive at our newly remodeled Broulim's Grocery today.
