I can honestly say that not only does being a mother take up a lot more time than I had thought but being a working (full time) mother leaves me with not many extra minutes in my day; therefore, it has been a while since the last blog entry.
East lying on our bed sporting his Lawn Butler one-sie. Thanks Kehne's for the sweet shirt!
Easton's 4 month checkup was squeezed into our busy lives at 5 months. Just a few weeks off, but we made it. At this appointment Easton was weighed, measured, and given his second round of vaccines. He weighs 14 lbs 10 oz and measures 25.6 inches in length putting him in both the 50% for weight and 55% for height which is a vast increase from his last weight & measurement at 2 months placing him in the 15% for both categories. The BIGGEST shock to us was that his head had grown so much that he is now in the 75th percentile in head circumference where he placed only in the 8th percentile at his last visit. WOW! This boy is growing! Dr. Greg encouraged me to move forward with Easton's solid foods sharing with me the only foods Easton shouldn't be introduced to is peanut butter as well as shell fish until after 1 year of age. This means HELLO meats and all kinds of veggies to Easton's diet. (He downed an avocado this week with no problem so we plan to introduce more foods as Easton's pediatrician has recommended). Dr. Greg also said that he wants E to eat 3 meals per day with a spoon...man, I can't believe we are here already with solid foods. Another reminder that my little boy is growing up.
