4 month well check

I took Johnathan for his checkup yesterday and had a good visit.  He weighs 16 pounds and is 25.5" long.  He is in the 55th percentile for both and his head circumference is at 40.5 which is only in the 12 th percentile.  He was a pretty happy baby during the visit and was talking and laughing with the nurse and doctor.  At one point she asked me if he was always this happy and easy going, I replied with yes thank goodness.  Johnathan actually had a couple rough days this past weekend and really only wanted to nurse and sleep on me, it was a good thing I had Monday off.  The big kids were really good and played with each other nicely.  Johnathan is starting to grab things with both hands and loves to interact with people.  The doctor suggested starting cereals at 5 months and then veggies at 6 months.  I am thinking of maybe skipping the cereals and just going to the veggies at 6 months.  I get overwhelmed thinking about making baby food again along with everything else.  I am hoping that I can hold off until spring break in April and then take a day to make a while bunch, hoping that he likes whatever I make.  We shall see.

Robert and I started to do hardwork and there is plenty to do.  4 acres and a piece of property that sat vacant for a year equals a lot of work!!  Plus we are trying to make it fit our taste.  Hopefully, we can accomplish the garden and then work from there.

Time for bed :)
