4 Months

On Tuesday Caden turned 4 months old! Today we went to the Doctor for his 4 month well-baby check and another round of shots. The Doctor was pleased with his growth and recommended that we start some rice cereal. She thinks that he is ready for some solids because he is taking so much formula in a 24 hour period and is spitting up quite a bit. She thinks adding in a little cereal might thicken up the liquid in his tummy and make it stay down better. Based on his growth, she is not overly concerned about the spitting - enough seems to be staying in!

Weight - 14.5 pounds (38%)
Height - 24 3/4 inches (44%)
Head - 16 1/2 inches (40%)

This round of shots was a little bit harder for the poor baby. He has been sleeping most of the afternoon and evening. A little Tylenol seemed to help.

Here are a few pictures of our cute little guy

He can almost grab his feet now. He can get his hands to his toes, but he hasn't quite mastered grabbing them. He does think they are very interesting and checks them out frequently. In the next picture he is also doing his new favorite trick - blowing bubbles. It's now very hard to get a picture of him without blowing bubbles or with his hands in his mouth

See what I mean...?

And just for fun, one more really cute one
