Four Months

Denver was 4 months on Monday. He had his 4 month well baby check up on Tuesday and he weighed in at 12 lbs 9 oz (25%) and was 24.5 inches long (50-75%) and his head circumference is in the 75%.

We also got the okay to start cereal, but to be honest, we had tried it before because Denver loves to eat. He would watch Evan and I eat and reach for what we were eating. Also, our little guy may only be in the 25%, but it's not like he's not trying to gain more weight as he eats 5 oz every 2 hours (which is about twice of our little neighbor girl who is 10 days older than him and weighs a lot more than him). Denver likes his cereal, but he gets so excited when Mommy and or Daddy smile at him that lots of times he smiles before he swallows and it comes back out. It's pretty sweet. Denver gets his cereal every evening and gets a little better at it every time. Right now I'm thinking we'll slowly increase it after awhile and then around 5 months start vegetables and 6 months start fruits.

Denver has had some fussier times in the evening and after feedings leading us to believe his Prevacid (for his reflux) needed to be increased so we doubled his dose. It seems to have helped and he's been more himself.

Denver has been working hard to roll from his back to his tummy and Tuesday morning he achieved that, but he couldn't figure out how to get his arm out from underneath him so it didn't last long and he rolled back to his back. He also loves playing with bags; Ithink he likes listening to the different sounds and feeling the different textures. One night while we ate supper Denver played with a bag of chips. (When we eat supper Denver sits in his bumbo seat on the table.)

This is Denver's new way of sitting in his bumbo seat. He doesn't seem to sit straight in it very often anymore. He's just a busy kid trying to see everything going on!

Happy Easter

We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter. Here are some Easter pictures of Denver.
