Carrots!

Xander had his 4 month check-up on Monday. 

He weighs 16 pounds 13 ounces (90th%), is 25 inches long (50th%) and his head is 17 inches (90th%). He is right on track developmentally (a HUGE relief to hear since developmental delays are a common problem with tracheomalacia cases). We got the "go ahead" to start feeding him food besides just rice cereal and breast-milk.

Here he is after eating carrots. Apparently they taste better when you try and ingest them with your whole body.....

Last Saturday was the Central Point city-wide yard sale. All in all the yard sales were kind of lame, I think we spent $5 total all day. So that was disappointing. Until my sister-in-law and I went out later in the afternoon. We scored these AWESOME Captain America costumes at a yard sale!

Xander's First "Solid" Foods!

Normally babies don't start rice cereals until they are 4 months. But Xander's doctor told us to try it this week (he turns 3 months) to see if it helps his reflux. So last night we did! We mixed some whole grain rice cereal with a little breast-milk and let him try it.

Gabriella wanted to try it too, of course, so we let her. She wasn't a big fan of it!

It was so cute! I'm pretty sure that he liked helping me with the spoon more than actually eating, but he'll get the hang of it!

I love the advances in technology! It is so nice that we can take videos and pictures of milestones like this and be able to share it with our family!
