Yesterday we took Marcus to his four month well check. He weighed in at a whopping 18 lbs 8 oz (96th percentile) and measured 26.5 inches (93rd percentile). We have a big guy on our hands! He seems to be in perfect health and is right on track developmentally. He got three shots. It took about a minute to console him but he stopped crying before we left the office and was done whimpering by the time we got to the car.
The doctor did mention that Marcus seemed to be eating a lot of formula and suggested starting him on solids. So that meant a trip to the store. We got some organic rice cereal, pureed organic bananas, an avocado, and a butternut squash. And we picked out a new high chair. I happened to buy the avocado under ripe so his first real food was organic baked sweet potatoes. He liked them but he thought I was slow and kept grabbing my hands and the spoon. He got tired of the high chair quickly and we ended dinner but he polished off about 1.5 Tbls!
