Playing and Napping

Last night we had dinner with friends. On the way there, Nathan was fussing in his car seat. As I was driving I told him that he would see Daddy once we got there. Nathan immediately stopped fussing and cooed in delight. After dinner I was holding Nathan while our friend's little girl was playing on the floor nearby. Nathan was fascinated by their little girl who is about 1 year older than him. He watched her every move and you could see him trying to figure her out. Another little person! But after playing yesterday and being up late, he slept 12 hours and has taken a nap for almost 3 hours this morning! In fact he has been sleeping so long I have been in his room 3 times to check on him so far. He even slept through the flash for this picture! I am sure he will be waking up any second as I type this.

Rice Cereal

Today Nathan had his first feeding of rice cereal. At first he looked uncertain when it was placed in his mouth, but after that first bite, he seemed to enjoy it. We will try a new food after 5 days.

Doctor Visit

Today Nathan had his 4 month old doctor appointment. The doctor was pleased with his progress and the new skills he has developed. Nathan is now 15lbs 3.5oz and 25.5 inches long. This puts him in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. He also pronounced Nathan ready to try out some solid foods (rice cereal, and some baby foods). Nathan is beginning to be afraid of strangers and cried when the doctor talked to him at first but then he decided that it was ok and babbled away. He also got some more vaccinations today and has been a little cranky and very tired ever since.

Nathan will be 4 months old this wednesday. How the time flies. I never cease to be amazed a how much he has grown!Look mom! I can put my whole fist in my mouth!
