4 Month Update

Michael's 4.5 months and such a joy these days! Being back at work has been a bit of a challenge, but having my mom here has been a huge help! We went to the doctor last week and this little chunk is really growing. He still spits up a ton and I asked the doctor what we could do about. After reviewing his chart and realizing he'd gained nearly 6lbs in 2 months, she wasn't at all concerned! He weighed 15.7lbs, is 25in long and 42cm head circumference.

He's still eating 6oz every 3-3.5 hours and we started trying some veggies this week. We tried green beans first. Maybe not the best first choice. I've decided to try and make his food myself. I steamed the heck out of those things, then put them in our food processor. Then I strained them out and added some rice cereal to the liquid. He liked the taste ok. We gave them to him for 3 days and then he had the worst upset tummy! He was so gassy and upset.






We then took a break from the solids. I tried carrots tonight. He wasn't crazy about them, but hopefully his tummy will adjust a bit better.

We also had a nice romantic Valentine's Day--at Casa Mexicana! We had planned on going out in Memphis, but Ben's work scheduled allowed him to get off earlier than anticipated so we relieved our child care provider instead!

4 Month Photo Shoot:





















Bella was checking things out. Speaking of Bella, she had her 7th birthday on February 23rd! My sister used to buy her dogs a cheeseburger on their birthday, Bella got a bone.



My niece, Ali Clare, was baptized on Feb. 10th. We went down on Saturday evening and stayed with my sister. I didn't get many photos, but it was really nice to all be together as family. We also had a wonderful brunch at Nick's afterwards

And lastly, we just set up Michael's high chair. He has Ben's old one also, but isn't quite big enough for that.


How is he big enough for that already!??
