4 month checkup

We went to the doctor’s office on Wednesday for Connor’s 4 month checkup.

Here are his stats:

13lbs 3oz

24″ long

The doctor said we can now give Connor some solids.  We are going to start with rice cereal and some formula this weekend.  Dr. Baust also commented on how strong Connor’s legs are.  Connor proudly demonstrated for Dr. Baust how he can stand on them with very little assistance.

Connor as also learned to push up from a sitting position to a standing position (with Daddy’s or Mommy’s help of course).  My hunch is he will learn to walk before he learns to crawl.  Connor does not enjoy being on him stomach at all.

Sleeping continues to be great!  He goes to bed at 9pm most nights and wakes around 7am.  Usually Victoria and I will peek in his room in the morning and see him playing with his toes (he started grabbing his feet and toes last week).  When we go in during the morning, he gives us our “good morning smile” and then we give him our kisses.  What a wonderful time of the day.  He is so relaxed and so loving that I hate to leave the house to go to work.
