4 months

Tyson had his 4 month appointment today and I was so proud of him. He now weighs 12 lbs 6.5 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. What a big boy. He is still small compared to other babies his age but he is catching up quick. He had 2 shots and he didnt even notice the first one he just sat there smiling at the nurse being a little flirt. He did not like the 2nd shot but only cried for a second and was fine once I held him. The Dr said that we should start him on rice cereal so we went to the store and picked up his first big boy cereal and we got to feeding him. He did pretty well and ate half of what I made for him. He of course made a mess and spit some on it out but then would sit there with his mouth open for more. I started him out in his new big boy high chair but he ended up more interested in chewing on the chair than eating so I switched him over to the Bumbo.
Tyson has been teething really bad this week and has been very whiney and nothing seems to help. I was going to take him up to Myriad for everyone to see him before I took him to his appointment but he has been so crabby and not sleeping much so when he took a nap and it went longer than expected I wasnt about to wake him. As a result we got to his appointment late and they almost wouldnt see him. But they snuck us in which I am thankful for since the Dr is leaving for 2 weeks.
This month I also bought Tyson a Jumperoo which thank you very much I put together myself. I also put together his highchair which he seems to love. He still isnt quite sure about the Jumperoo but I know that soon he will love it as much as his playmat.
