4 month Check-up

On Tuesday Eli went in for his 4 month check-up and shots...=(. He was a trooper and mom survived as well. He was smiling and just having a good ole time with the nurses, then they stuck him....3 times-he wasn't very happy after that. The got a "healthy baby boy" report from his ARNP who is also a certified lactation consultant-I get to address baby and nursing questions all in the same visit. Eli weighed in at 12 pounds, 15 ounces-he is in the 25th percentile for height and weight, 60th for his noggin. These are the same numbers he got @ his 3 month check-up. I can start cereal at 4 months, which officially isn't until Saturday, 4/19-but she likes for breastfed babies to wait until or as close to 6 months. I told her I would try to hold off until then, but if he continues to act interested in food we will start cereal sooner. She was happy with how he was holding his head up and how he sat upright with some assistance. He doesn't have to return until he is 6 months. I think that about wraps up the visit-here are some pics from the morning after his shots....enjoy!
