4 Months Old!

Luke is 4 months old today! He weighs in at 16lbs, 13 oz per our home scale, which puts him between the 75th and 90th perecentiles. This is all unofficial though, as the real weigh in comes at his 4 month appointment on July 19th (stay tuned).

Today was a milestone for Luke - he tried rice cereal for the very first time!! He has been showing signs of being ready to try cereal, so we figured today would be a good day. To do this we stripped him down, put him in his bouncer (covered by a towel) and put the biggest bib we could find on him. He didn't really know what to think of it at first, but he caught on pretty quick. I would say that he did really well for his first time. Of course, he wore a lot of it and rubbed his fists in it.....so cute! Luke also graduated to stage 2 nipples this week. This has really decreased the time for him to suck a bottle down - yay!

At 4 months old Luke is learning new things every day. He loves to play with his toys, jump in his entertainer/bouncer, stick his fingers in Bella's mouth, and, of course, watch Mr. Fan. He is a happy boy with a big smile. He laughs a lot, especially when I tickle him. He can roll over from tummy to back, but doesn't seem interested in going the other way. He is super cute and he is on his way to being the boy with a mohawk (the hair on the sides of his head is rubbing off in his sleep).
