Luke turned four months last Wednesday and had his check up on Thursday. He weighed 14 lbs. 14 oz. and 24.5 inches long. He's growing like a weed!
At his appointment his doctor mentioned he might have a mild torticollis (Click here for a quick definition). I have been a bit concerned that he might have torticollis since he started trying to hold his head up. (And the only reason I've even heard of the condition is because Luke's cousin has it and has been in physical therapy for it.) The pediatrician mentioned it, but she said she just wanted us to watch it and talk about possible therapy at his 6 month check up. Since I was already a bit concerned about it, I had a physical therapist "screen" him. She definitely noted some signs and symptoms of torticollis and recommended therapy. I contacted the pediatrician's and got orders for therapy. We will hopefully start physical therapy next week and knock this problem out. The PT we saw said it was very mild and shouldn't be terribly difficult to resolve.
A little update on cloth diapers -
I have to say I'm getting more and more brave. We are almost exclusively using cloth diapers. Luke wears them all the time even on all our outings. We even used them on our trip to Hot Springs. We are still trying to get the cloth at night down.
This was one of our projects when Mom was here. She is making us diapers! This, we discovered, is more complicated than we realized. But we are working out the kinks. Pictures of the homemade diapers to come later.
