4 Months Old

Look who's 4 months old today!

With turning 4 months old, also comes her 4 month doctor's appointment.  The appointment went well, and the doctor was very pleased at how Abigail is growing and developing.  Her height is now 25.5 inches, which still puts her in the 90th percentile!  Also, she now weighs 14 pounds and 4 ounces, which puts her in the 64th percentile.  Her doctor also mentioned that because Abbie is 4 months and over 14 pounds, she is now ready for rice cereal!  Ahhh!  While rice cereal (a couple teaspoons mixed with a couple ounces of breastmilk) isn't considered a "solid food" yet, I still can't get over the fact that she'll be eating from a spoon now!  Also, we were told that as long as she does well with the rice cereal and gradually gets used to the texture and thickness of it, we also have the go ahead to start introducing some pureed fruits and vegetables to her in the next month, too.  I guess I better start looking for sales on baby food!
