4 (and a half) month checkup

It was yesterday. He did pretty well. He's getting to be a calmer baby -- much calmer. Right now, he's sitting in his rocker chair thingy, playing with a stuffed Pooh bear and rubbing his feet together.

He was 15 pounds, 12 ounces and 25 1/4 inches long. He grew an inch and a quarter in a month and a half. That's a lot of growing. I measured him at 3 months, since he didn't have a doc appt and he was 24 inches then. He did really, really well with the shots this time. I was proud of him.

He had his second week of daycare yesterday too. I was less pleased with them. They must have told the morning baby teacher that I come before 7:15, because she was there already when I showed up. She was a very grandma-type. So, that was nice. But, I told her I was going to pick him up at 2:45. I was a little bit late, but right as I walked in, she was laying him down for a nap -- WHY DIDN'T SHE DO IT SOONER!!!! So, I was a little frustrated by that, because then he missed a nap. So, he's been a tired baby since then.

Plus, he had a cold and probably doesn't feel that great to start with.

Oh well. Poor little Ryan.

But, he's going to start more rice cereal for solids and then by 5 months, we can start to try veggies and once he's into the veggies, onto fruits. So, Jake and Mom will have to start to try those during the day. Which means that I should sew the cushions for the high chair, so he's got a nice place to sit. It's really cute Sesame Street flannel that I found at Hobby Lobby. It's pretty sweet.

Anyway, off to make the baby sleep again. he needs his beauty rest.
