He WANTED MORE!!!!We went for Rylan's 4 month check up on August 25 and he had to get 4 shots again. :( But on the upper hand he is gaining weight real well and growing in length. He weighed 15 lbs. 14 1/2 oz. and was 25 1/2 inches in length. In all he was in the 75 percentile for other babies his age. Dr. Sester said everything looked great and told us we could start cereal and baby food!!! We started some rice cereal and he loved it, but it makes him constipated - NOT FUN!...so we went on to 1st foods and started some sweet potatoes and he's doing really well with it. I thought he was going to make a huge mess, but he didn't. It did kinda messy around his mouth and he did grab the spoon from me a few times, but he did pretty good. I know the older he gets he will become more independent and will make more of a mess because of him being more mobile. I'm not sure if I've blogged about him rolling over...he can roll from his tummy to his back. Then yesterday we were on the way to my parents house and I showed him how to pull on one of his toys to make it wind up and vibrate and he kept pulling on it the rest of the trip and had it down pat! He is so smart...it's amazing how he catches onto things so fast. He loves watching his Illustrative Bible DVD too...he's going to know the Bible from front to back by the time he's 2! :) God has blessed us with a smart child!

Try oatmeal. Gavin preferred that over rice cereal and it doesn't constipate them! they have a banana flavored kind - that was Gavin's favorite!
Once he started eating other things he NEVER touched rice cereal again!
I have started giving him Earth's Best Organic rice cereal cause it says its easier to digest...so we'll see how he does with it. He is eating the cereal and his orange & yellow veggies and loves all of it. Thanks for the advice on oatmeal..I'll try it and see what happens!
