4 Months...Revisited!!

Ok, so I posted earlier about Stafford turning 4 months old...well, here is the official, updated version since we had his 4 month doctor's appointment today! Sweet thing had to get three shots today: one oral vaccination (those are the best) and one shot in each leg. He took the oral medicine and the first shot like a champ...that second one in his leg was another story...HATED it but only cried for about 10 seconds before falling back asleep. The nurse even commented that it was the shortest cry she's ever heard for that particular shot so I'm going to say he took that one like a champ too...tough guy! His doc said that we can start spoon-feeding him one tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with about 1-2 ounces of formula at night. He suggested not putting the rice cereal in a bottle but spoon-feeding instead...so, we are trying this out tonight! He said to do this for about a week, increase the rice cereal feedings to twice a day (morning and night) after the first week and then on to baby food (veggies first) in addition to his 4 times a day formula feedings! I am so excited to start this next little chapter in feedings...fingers crossed that Stafford gets the hang of a spoon quickly! Sweet boy weighs 11 pounds & 12 ounces and he is 23 inches long!! The doctor said he looks great, is eating well, is sleeping well and is right on track with doing what he's supposed to be doing at this age. He doesn't go back for two more months which I'm sure his little thighs appreciate! My tough guy below:
