Four Months Old

We had Colton's 4 month checkup today and everything looks great! He is 15lbs (50th percentile) which I was shocked because he feels SOOO much heavier when I tote him around...must be that dang carseat! He is 26 inches long (85th percentile) and his head circumference is 16 5/8 (50th percentile). I think this little boy will be a tall one! We told her that we had attempted to give him some rice cereal and he seemed to like it so she gave us the go ahead to start with solids after a few weeks of rice cereal. I am so excited to be at this stage...I can't wait to see what foods he likes and dislikes and to be at a new point in his life where we get to try something new besides the same ole boring formula. By the way, have y'all ever tasted that stuff?! G-R-O-S-S! I dunno why babies like it. I must say I am just excited to get the baby spoons out and have a little more fun at eating time; bottle feeding gets kinda boring after while. In preparation for solids we did get a couple of those mesh things (I saw on your blog Kari) you can put chunks of food in it and as the baby chews on it the juice and tiny bits come out (how ingenious is that??) so now I can relax without worrying he will choke on something....They are $6 for 2 at Target. :)

While we were at the Dr. Colton decided to show momma that he knows how to ROLL OVER! From back to stomach, I am proud! He did it yesterday for dad and nana while they were visiting her at her office and I was totally bummed they got to see him do it first....I mean I have spent a lot more hours with him and maybe I feel like that is my payback, when he does something new. However, once he did it for me I was so excited and decided not to be sad I missed the first time. As a working mom I suppose I just need to get used to missing a few moments of his little life. I just better not miss his first crawls/steps and words....I will be devastated! Anyway, as soon as he rolled over I whipped out my phone and snapped a photo and then when we got home from the doc I set him on the ground and he kept rolling over again and again so I got the good camera out and caught it on video.
