Vaccinations suck

Monsieur Henry had his four month checkup today. His stats are as follows:

Weight: 13.12 lbs
Height: 26.5 in
Head Circumference: 16 in

Doc says we should begin baby-proofing the house immediately as H is quite strong and she expects he will be mobile soon. She mentioned some babies will use their feet on hardwood floors to scootch along, which we tried as soon as we got home. The silly little bean made it around an inch and a half without assistance before he got tired of hanging out on the uncomfortable surface. He did fine until the fever hit around bedtime. We tagged his temperature at 102.7. Poor kid.

Just my 2 cents, for what it's worth... don't go too crazy baby-proofing just yet. Do the basics (a lock on the cabinet with all the poisons, gate off any stairs, etc.) but wait and see what looks like it will pose a problem once he starts moving and tackle it then. I think you can make yourself crazy trying to baby-proof everything (which is impossible) when some of it's not even necessary for your specific child I've seen so many people with baby-proof handles on every single door in the house when the kid can't even reach the doorknob!

Granted, our kids choose not to move until much later than most, so you can take that with a grain of salt. :)
