Stryker turned 4 months old today!! Logan & I took him to his 4 month check-up. He weighed 13 lbs 11 oz (30th percentile) & 24 in long (20th percentile). He's growing so fast! The pediatrician said Stryker was developing well. He had 4 shots at the end of the appointment. He cried & got mad but was quickly consoled in mommy's arms. The pediatrician agreed with the possibility of a corrective helmet. She also wanted us to start baby rice cereal trials. The picture above shows our first attempt at spoon feeding rice cereal. He loved it! Well, he liked getting messy. He gets rice cereal mixed with formula once a day for 2 wks before moving onto oatmeal mixed with formula. Stryker likes it some nights while other nights he spits it out. Logan & I enjoy feeding him together.
