So Easton went in for his 4 month check up last Thursday. He now weighs 11lbs 13 oz and everything is great! I think he's perfect, however the doc was a little concerned that he only gained 2oz since she saw him last month and started talking to me about different options. She mentioned formula first and I'm sorry, but that one got shot down instantly. NOT because I'm opposed to feeding my baby formula, but because we've tried to and he absolutely hates it!!
Not kidding.
So then she said we should start feeding him solids. She said to try rice cereal for 7 to 10 days and then we can start him on veggies! Yes! I am so excited! When I first gave Easton a bit of cereal he did not know what to think. He kept spitting it out and making funny faces. I couldn't decide if he didn't like it because I mixed it with formula or if it was because it was something new and different. (I actually tried it once before the doctor even said to :)) Now I pump so I can mix the cereal with breast milk and he LOVES IT! Yesterday I even gave him a little more than usual because he scarfed the first bowl down. What a little piggy! We go back to the doctor at 5 months to get his height and weight checked again so I will let you all know how it goes. Here's a video of Easton the first time he tried his new food. His face cracks me up :)
If he wouldn't have eaten it I'm sure Callie would have.... she was very interested.
