4 Month Dr. Visit & Eating Solids

On last Tuesday Braydon had his 4 month Dr. visit. He got weighed, measured and some shots. Our little man isn't so little anymore. He weighs 17 lbs. 13 ounces and is 26.5 inches tall. He got another three shots and an oral. He did better with the shots this time, he had a little bit of a delayed reaction to the shots and only screamed for a little while. Next visit is at 6 months and he will be getting the flu shot then, he was too young for it this time. We talked about starting him on solids. So on Wednesday we picked up some oatmeal to try. That night we attempted to feed him the oatmeal and it was interesting to say the least.

We waited a few days and then tried the applesauce. This seemed to go better, but still got all over the place. We have been doing this every night and it seems to be getting a little better. We went and got a high chair for him and this helped a little because he couldn't get away :) I wonder how long it takes before kids understand that they should swallow the stuff on the spoon? Good thing we have tile floors!!!

Here are some new pics of the little guy. Just click on the picture and it will take you to a gallery of more. We are getting nervous about flying back to the states with a 4 month old (he will be 5 month's the day of the flight) but can't wait for everyone to see him.
