4 Months Old!!!

Hi Liam! 

Holy moly, I can't believe you are already 4 months old. When people told me that once you were here time would fly, I didn't know to what extent they were talking about. Friday, January 20, 2012 is the exact day you turned 4 months. We started the day by going to get your dreaded 4 month shots. Poor baby boy! Daddy & I were super excited to learn that you weighed in at 11 lbs 9 oz. We had just been at the doctor that Monday for your minor cold, so we were thrilled that you had gained 3 oz in 4 days. The doctor also told us that you were now old enough to eat cereal with your milk and that we could start giving you water to drink between meals. You know what that news meant your dad & I? It meant we must make a pit stop at Babies R Us to buy you your first box of cereal (not the kind you're thinking when you're reading this) & your first sippy cup.

Liam & daddy at the doctor's office...

Once we got home with your new grub & loot, we went to work! Your first go at the sippy cup was quite funny. You were really good at holding onto the cup handles, but you couldn't make it to your mouth. You kept bringing the cup up to your forehead. Lol!! Next was your first bowl of cereal! We bought you the organic Oatmeal flavored one. It was a small bowl of 1 tbsp of cereal with 2 oz of prepared formula. You were yelling because I was taking too long between spoonfuls. It was really watery so it made a huge mess, but you were really good at "chewing" it.

See what I mean about the cup to the forehead comment?

Look at you! Thinking you're all grown up with your hand on your pants. haha

All in all you had a fantastic 4 month day! Daddy & I live for these first moments & milestones with you. We love you SO much--more than people need air! Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Love you (always & forever),
