Yesterday I turned 4-months old! It has definitely been a very busy month! Two weeks ago I had my “4-month” check-up at the doctors office. I weighed 15 lbs. 6 oz. as much as a five-and-a-half-month-old, and I was 26 inches long, as much as a six-month-old! The doctor didn’t even believe it!
Since I’m growing so big the doctor said it was time for some solid foods. So, Mommy and Daddy went out to the store to look at the baby food. They stood there for a while, and even called Grammy Wukitch to find out what they should get! Eventually they settled on some rice cereal and we went home. The next day Mommy and Daddy attempted to give me the cereal, I liked it, but they made it too soupy so it wouldn’t stay in my mouth, so they just diluted it some more and I drank it. The next day they got it right, and I actually ate it with a spoon!
After a few days Mommy and I went out while Daddy was at work and got some veggies. We bought some squash and some carrots, and tried the squash that night. I wasn’t sure at first, but eventually I decided that it was pretty good and ate the entire bowl! I tried the carrots this week, I think they’re better than the squash, and I’m getting a lot better at this eating thing. (As soon as I figured out that I needed to close my mouth after Mommy and Daddy put the food in it got a lot easier!) After our second carrot experience I had a bath in the sink since I was completely orange from head to toe!
Two weekends ago my cousins Maisie and Maddux were up to visit for their first birthday. We had a lot of fun at their party and Mommy and Daddy took a ton of pictures.
I’m also getting ready to become mobile! I am soooo close to rolling over, Mommy and Daddy are sure I’ll have it in a few days. When I’m on my tummy I also kick my feet and move my arms, I’ll be crawling pretty soon and then Mommy and Daddy are in for it! Grammy DeLabar says I’m teething, she can feel the tooth, and I do like to chew on everything, especially frozen things! (I even snuck a lick of Mommy’s fudgicle! It was delicious!)
The last two weeks it has been very hot, so hot that last weekend Daddy went out and bought a pool for Mommy and me, and a ladybug floater for me. I love it! Mommy put me in it on Monday and I scooted all around the pool. Mommy was very surprised. She even got the video camera out on Wednesday, but I wasn’t moving around too much so it’s not very exciting. I was pretty tired and all I wanted to do was chew on my ladybug!
Well, that’s it for now! Daddy put up some new photos in the gallery section and the post before this one has two new videos to look at. Mommy and Daddy are pretty busy so who knows if they’ll get to update before I’m five-months-old but they’ll try! If they don’t, next time we’ll have stories about my first trip to the beach!
