4 Month Well Baby Visit

Hunter's 4 month check-up was today! I always look forward to going to the pediatrician because I think of so many questions between visits. He weighs 15.94 (63rd percentile), is 24 1/4 inches long (19th percentile) and his head circumference is 16.5 (34th percentile). Everything is looking good and we have the go ahead for starting solids. We will be starting rice cereal this later this week. We will start with 2 teaspoons breast milk and work our way up from there. After about a week of that, we can start introducing stage 1 veggies one at a time for 3-5 days to make sure he doesn't have any allergies. I think we will start with carrots first, then alternate between orange/yellow and green veggies until we have been through all of them. After we have been through the veggies, we will move on to fruits continuing the 3-5 day test period. Once we have finished all of the Stage 1 foods, we will move on to Stage 2!

After his check up, he had to get his 4 month shots. Shots=terrible! At his 2 month appt, you couldn't even tell he had gotten the shots, but this time was MUCH worse. He screamed and screamed. It was not fun! He has been very fussy all afternoon. I finally got him down for a nap and he slept for about 2 hours.

I hear him now......
