Growing Up

Last night, we started putting Danny in night time specific, gigantic diapers after his bath because, let's face it, the early morning blowout ratio was not in our favor. I call them his "baby depends".

And then this morning, Danny had his first solids - 1 tablespoon of rice cereal to 4 tablespoons of breast milk.  Our pediatrician recommended we give it a try since getting Danny to focus during nursing is so challenging. If he tolerates that well, we'll be slowly introducing other foods. Here's a video of Danny eating this morning. I think we got more on his bid, bumbo and dining room table than in his mouth. Our baby is growing up...

Speaking of growing up, Danny was in the 50-75th percentile for height, weight and head circumference, or "perfect", at his 4 month wellness check-up.
