Dear Charlotte -
Oh how fun you are! This month was a big one for you - you started solids! You had your first x-ray, first ear infection.. never a dull moment!
Your 4 month check up went very well. You're still on the bottom growth curve, but you're following the curve and that's all that matters! You were 10 lbs, 14 oz and 24 inches long! Tall skinny little thing! :) You got a few more shots, which was no fun at all. All smiles until the second that needle went into your leg and then you were screaming your head off. We asked about your right leg, because you never seem to want to put much weight on it. She examined you and it seemed like everything was okay, but she requested an x-ray just to be sure! So, off we went that following Saturday to Texas Children's Hospital - West Houston. It was a really nice hospital, we were very impressed. And they were so fast! We were in and out in about 15 minutes, total!! You did great, didn't fuss or anything.
The following weekend we started you on rice cereal. You weren't too crazy about it at first, but you humored us. After a few days, we decided we'd try "real" food for you and get rid of the rice cereal. You started with sweet potatoes, and oh my - you love them!! It was a big success - you gobbled down the entire package, and then looked at me wondering if there was more. :) To date you've had sweet potatoes, squash, peas, carrots, and peaches. The first two are your favorites so far. Each time you get better, but you're a pretty messy eater. Can't seem to keep your hands or the bib out of your mouth. It's pretty entertaining.
You've become so vocal! You just sit and make noises all the time. The first time you realized you could do it, that's all you did for 2 or 3 days, it was pretty entertaining. Now you talk to us all the time and seem to really enjoy figuring out what new noises you can make! Pictures to come soon!
