4 Months Old, Where Did the Time Go

Today Cooper turned 4 months old. We of course did the doctor thing. We went and got shots, oh not so much fun, although I can't complain to much because they don't really bother him at all. But we also received some not so good news about him today. He has a sinus infection. Well in last 2 months he has only gained just over a pound. The doctor told me she is going to give him 2 weeks to put some weight on, since he always seems to be sick. If he does not put any weight then I guess she'll figure something else out. Then on top of that news....she noticed that when he is standing, with weight on his feet, his feet point outwards instead of straight ahead. So she said we are going to keep an eye on that. My old boss's husband is a foot doctor, so I am going to have him take a look at them, and see if it is any thing to worry about, since he'll do it for me. If there is then when we go back in 2 weeks, I'll talk to my doctor about putting in a referral to a foot doctor, so we get the problem corrected, if there is one. It feels like nothing seems to be going well for my little man. I mean we don't have it terrible, but it just seems like he can never get a break. Oh yeah she even thinks he sleeps way too much. He will sleep from 4pm to 9am, he will wake up to eat and then he's right back out again. He will even take a nap from about 10am to 12pm. So he really isn't awake very much. I try to keep him awake and keep him occupied, but he just seems to want to sleep. I guess that's all that is really going on at this very moment.
