She's a growin'

Today was Lainey's 4 month wellness check up! She weighs 12 pounds, 1 ounce and is 23-3/4 inches tall! ...still our little peanut girl :) Pediatrician said we can start her on rice cereal! "2-3tsp twice a day, mix with formula, keep it really runny. It's just for practice right now, not for calories, so keep up with her bottles, and try the rice cereal in between bottle feedings." We are excited to try!

Here is a great Solid Food Chart for Babies. He said most babies aren't ready for "solid" foods until 6 months of age, but we could start practicing with some green beans, apples, bananas or pears - mashed baby food of course.
