Well we took Parker to see Dr. Wiley on Monday b/c he has a bad cough and runny nose. The Dr. said he just has a cold and it will pass. I was so thankful that he didn't have RSV or an ear infection. Those were my 2 fears. I was happy. While we were there Dr. Wiley decided to go ahead and do his 4 month well check which we all knows means SHOTS. Parker screamed and he was mad for quite some time. After calming him down Haley got him a sticker and we were on our way. Here are his 4 month stats:
15 lbs 5 oz
24 1/2 inches long
I was anxious to know what he weighted b/c I could tell he had recently gotten heavier. Dr. Wiley said we can start feeding him with a spoon. I haven't tried yet b/c I am waiting for him to get over his nasty cold. I figure its best to try something new when he is 100%.
I did however try store brand formula this week and he hates it...won't even put the bottle in his mouth. So we are back to the good (expensive) stuff. I wanted to try switching for several reason...the main one being that the cost is about half and b/c the FDA says there is no difference in the ingredients and the store brands are just has good as the name brands. (Not in Parkers book) I just thought if I could save money on formula then buying baby food wouldn't really hurt the budget. I am going to try and make most of the baby food on my own this time. With Haley I never even tried but I am little more confident this time around. I will let you know how that works out.
For now I leave you with a picture of my 4 month old!
