4 Months

Ben was four months old yesterday. We went to the pediatrician today for his four month well baby check-up. He weighs 16 lbs and is 25 inches long. Both are in the 50th percentile for babies his age. Ben was very good during our doctor's visit. He only cried when the nurse put him on the scale naked. It might have been a little cool. He smiled and talked to the doctor.

The doctor recommended that we begin feeding him rice cereal with a spoon twice a day. We are going to wait until next week to start that because he goes for vaccinations at the health unit Wednesday. There is no need to start something new when he will probably be cranky for the rest of the week. Expect lots of pictures of feedings coming next week.
