4 month old check-up

Tyler went for his 4 month old check up on Friday, January 4th. This appointment was actually supposed to be a follow up for the cold he caught in Hawaii, but since rather than go back next week again, they let us kill 2 birds with one stone. WOOHOO! One less co-payment.

I don't remember the details off-hand, but he's in the 12 lb range and has gotten rather long. Both measurements ON the percentile charts!

Tyler wasn't a happy camper. He got 4 more shots. Mommy wasn't there, but daddy said he cried for quite sometime.

So the APA recommends starting solid foods between the age of 4 - 6 months. Tyler is about 4 months now, but Dr. O recommended us to wait until he is 5 months or so, just because he was born so early. We'd want to make sure his intestinal tract has had time to fully develop.

Mommy can't wait. She already bought him rice cereal, a bowl and spoon set, and plastic bibs. She is jumping the gun a bit, since first they have to incorporate the rice cereal into his milk. :P
