Monday was our 4 month check up and it went really well. Dominic is 15 1/2 pounds now! Such a big boy! He is in the 50th percentile in both weight and head circumference and in the 90th percentile in length. I think we have a tall little man on our hands. He is trying HARD to sit up on his own, but he hasn't quite mastered it. He leans way to far forward and starts to fall on his face :) The doctor mentioned that she doesn't usually see this until around 6 months so he is ahead of schedule as of now. We have started to use the Bumbo seat to help him out, but he isn't really a fan.
The doctor recommended that we start him on rice cereal to get him used to eating off of a spoon. He REALLY hates it! Monday night was a total disaster but Tuesday was a little better. We got a few spoonfuls down, but he makes the most awful faces. Here is the video of our first attempt at spoon feeding. It is only mildly successful, but we have tried each night and he is getting better each night. Next week we will move to two cereal feedings a day.
I feel like he has gone from an infant to a real live baby just over this past week. He is grabbing things now and chewing on EVERYTHING! The doctor thinks he should sprout some teeth any time now. I am crossing my fingers he doesn't get too grouchy. He is growing up so fast!! Here are a few more of his 4 month pictures.
