4 Month Appt

Nom nom nom nom


Don't know if you can really tell but his index finger has a hickey on it from him sucking so hard on those fingers!!


Derek went in for his 4 month appt today to get shots (awwie) and checked out to see how he's doing. Everything seems to be well although we were given the big no-no when we told him we let him nap on his tummy occasionally. Seriously the kid sleeps best on his tummy and we only do it when he's right beside us and we can tell he's fine or when he's in his crib with the angelcare monitor on to tell us if he's still breathing. It's not like we're just throwing him in there and not caring about him for hours. He LOVES all food with the exception of green beans. He has a major freak out meltdown tantrum when he just smells them, heaven help us when he's in the terrible 2's. :) He will jerk his head away and start screaming bloody murder like you're hurting him if you put them so much as on his lip. So far he's had applesauce, pears, carrots, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and loved them though. He also enjoys the rice cereal with the fruit in it. He's still rolling from his tummy to his back pretty much anytime we try to do tummy time. He has started scooting forward though on his tummy kind of like an army crawl. 2 few weeks ago after nap I came into his room when he woke up and he was at the top of the crib after I'd put him to sleep near the bottom. This week he's starting going in circles in his crib while on his tummy.
