4 Months Old!

Carson turned 4 months old on February 26th! Time flies! We learned at his 4 month check up that he is 12 lbs 14 oz (13 lbs with a full diaper!!) and 24 inches long. We are excited to add this height onto his growth chart, as it starts at 2 ft tall! Both measurements put Carson in the 15th percentile - still a peanut, but up from the 10th percentile!

Carson has been drinking a few tablespoons of rice cereal in his expressed breast milk bottles since he was about 6 weeks old - this is thought to prevent acid reflux and excessive amounts of spit up. Since he is now 4 months old, his pediatrician suggested that he can now enjoy rice cereal like a big boy! So we have begun giving it to him with a spoon - a talent he has yet to master!

We hope you enjoy his first solid food experience as much as Chomper did!

Already trying to feed himself...

Although Chomper tried her best to clean up...

it was off to the bathtub Carson went!
