4 months old

Stockton is 4 months old! He is such a sweet baby, we all love him to pieces! He had a checkup today and had to get two shots. He did pretty well, just cried for a minute. Everyone comments on what a BIG boy he is and this is why:

Weight ~ 19 lbs. 4 oz. (he weighed 18 lbs. 7 oz. only 10 days ago)
Height ~ 27 inches
Head ~ 17 1/4 inches

Off the charts!!
His double chin is so big I can't remember if he has a neck or not! :)

Stockton had another appointment with the pulmonologist in Phoenix because he is still on oxygen. They did a sweat test and an upper GI. Both tests were normal, thank goodness! But we are still trying to figure out why he still needs oxygen. He is doing better while awake and doesn't need it but when he falls asleep he holds his breath for about 9 or 10 seconds, does 3 quick breaths and holds it again..continually until the oxygen is turned on. His oxygen level gets really low still, 65% if it is off for too long. The doctor is working on getting a sleep study done on him where he will spend the night in a sleep lab with 12 leads hooked up all over his body. They will monitor his airflow and will tell if he has an obstruction in his airways or if maybe it is a neurological problem where his brain doesn't tell him to breath normally while sleeping and a lot of other things. We are really hoping this test will help us figure out what is wrong so we can help him get over his problem. Stockton is getting really good at pulling the tube out of his nose and I'm getting some really big muscles carrying this big boy in his carrier and a tank of oxygen around too!

Stockton smiles a lot and loves to be talked to.
