Caleb had his 4 month check-up last week. He is 24 inches long and weighs 15.2 lbs, which she said was about 6th percentile for height and 39th for weight. Caleb is a SHORT baby! (but then again, he was born 4 weeks early) But he's perfectly healthy and doing great! The main concern we had when we went was this bump on his nose. It started out as a scratch (he scratched near his nostril) and then it turned into a bump. I was hoping it wasn't infected or anything. She said it's probably just a hypertrophic scar (because there isn't any pus or fluid draining from it) and that as he gets older it will get better. In the meantime, she said we could put Mederma on it, so that's what we've been doing since. Hopefully it goes away.
Then, poor Caleb had to get his 4 month shots. He screamed a lot longer/sadder than his first set of shots, but he still did good afterwards.
We started feeding Caleb solids 2 weeks ago. We started off with oatmeal cereal. We bought the Beech Nut brand (which is all natural, I suppose). We also bought their applesauce. He really likes applesauce, but the oatmeal cereal, not so much. This weekend, I bought Earth's Best Organic Peas. He likes that as well. I'm excited for him to try more flavors as time goes by. I read that you should wait a few days in between starting a new food so that you know if they're allergic to anything. The doctor said 3 days is good, but I'm going to wait at least a week.
I can't believe how fast my little chunkster is growing!
LOVE him.

Love,
Tiare
