Eating real food and doctor visit yesterday

We started Jackson about a week ago on rice cereal. We started with a little teeny bit of cereal and mixed it with formula and spoon fed him. It took him a day or two to get used to it.

After a week of that we saw the doctor (for his 4 month shots). He said if you haven't already started him on rice cereal, then go for it. Now he wants us to add in the fruits/veggies one at a time for 3-4 days each (to check for allergies).

He got four more booster shots, and handled them fairly well. Still screamed bloody murder when they were happening but this time it only took a few minutes to calm him down.

Oh, and his second tooth has been showing for a little over a week. Sheesh, I can't keep up with this kid.

Now for the exciting news...

27 INCHES LONG, he is herculean in size. Officially they said the 97th percentile, but I checked the charts and that length for four months is not even listed. The funniest part of that is that the nurse measured him and got 27 inches and wrote it on his paperwork. I thought he was more like 26 based on my attempts to measure him at home. So the doctor looked at the chart and said that the nurse had to be mistaken. So he proceeded to use the paper cover from the examining table to MARK Jackson's length so he could measure it again, but more accurately. And it was a touch over 27 inches. NBA here we come, lol. He weighed a smidge over 15 pounds which is the 50th percentile.

Everything else went smoothly and the doctor almost made me cry (happy tears) when he said that it doesn't get much better than this and that I get an A+... If he says that to everyone, just don't tell me so I can feel a little proud.
