Carter had his "4 month" check up today although he's really getting close to 5 months. Here are the stats...weight was 16lbs. 13oz., height was 26", and head circumference was 16" (I'm still not really sure why they measure this, but oh well it was 16). He was in the 90th percentile for his height and weight and the 25th percentile for his head circumference.
Carter also got a shot in each thigh which he was not to happy about, an oral vaccine, and the wax scraped out of his ear. By the end of all that, he was looking at the doctor like he was a terrorist. But, he bounced back and seemed just fine in a couple of minutes.
Probably the most exciting news is that Carter gets to start real food! (well...baby food that is) First we're starting with a little rice cereal, then in a couple of weeks we'll add fruit, and then in a couple more weeks move to veggies! Very exciting. So, I decided to go ahead and give it a shot tonight. Here's Carter's first eating experience!
I'm all ready, Mom!
Ummm...what is this stuff?
Maybe I'll just stick to my fingers!

When he gets to add a little meat we will have to fix him some vension or fish. Get him started right.
Did Scott catch any catfish Sunday night?
No, his friend had something come up so he didn't end up going. he just did a little regular fishing when we got home.
SOOO super cute!! Love the pictures, thanks for sharing =) Hooray Carter!!! Maybe soon we'll introduce Aunt Heather's fave....mac & cheese!!!
Love the bib too!!! =)
Looks like he really enjoyed his first taste of cereal. I will see you in a couple of weeks.
Give Carter a kiss for me.
Love, Auntie Dawn
Heather - thanks! that talented mom of mine made the bib
Dawn - Can't wait to see you!
So how did he like the food? Did he seem to enjoy it? Wait until you get to fruit...he will really love that.
he didn't really know what to think about it at first. I think he's getting used to it though. I'm sure he'll love the fruit...the plain cereal doesn't even smell very good.
Real food = awesome. Yay, Carter!
