4 Month Check Up:
Weight: 17 lbs 3 oz
Height: 24.5 inches
Head Circumference: 42.5 centimeters
I loved seeing him today so alert and respond so well to what the doctor was doing. Our Peds Dr joked that we have a full-backer on our hands and that he doesn't look like he's missed a meal!
The plan for the next month is to introduce him to 1-2 bottles of milk-base formula per day and see how he responds. If he does well then we can hopefully get him to all bottles being milk-based and help Mom and Dad save a little money each month because his other formula is so expensive. Also, around 5 or 5 1/2 months introduce him to rice cereal and then hopefully around 6 months we can start giving him solids! Bring on the home-made baby food! (My mom is a pro at it, so when we go there in a few weeks she's going to show me all her tricks.)
Our little man is certainly doing well and it warms my heart knowing that yes he came into this world early and struggled with his weight that he hasn't let that hold him back to growing into the boy he was intended to be!
We love you Mr. Chubbs! XOXO

I have am the hot baby food maker that all the celebrities use- it was given to me by my friend. So far, I have loved buying my Gerber organic baby food in the square packs and I've never used even used it! I just do not have the time for one more thing on my plate when I can barely keep up with cleaning, grocery shopping, sports, homework, and laundry- oh and an 8 month old and 2 other kids! When you are here- if you want to try it out, you can have it if you want it. It comes with a recipe book too. I keep thinking I'm going to use it but I need to face reality and know that I am not going to and it should go to someone who will!
