Four Months

Our visit to the doctor today was as eventful as could be expected. Our favorite part is, of course, the part when we get to see how much "Gigantor baby" has grown. Drum Roll please...

- Weight: 17 lbs 2.5 ounces
- Length: 26.5 inches

Again, the doctor told us that Beckett is off the growth charts for his age. He is approximately the same size as an average 6 month old.

Dr. Rouse gave us the go ahead to start trying rice cereal. We were initially excited to think about solids, but the more we thought about it the scarier it got - mixing foods, high chairs, bibs, bowls, spoons... We were just getting comfortable with the equipment we have let alone the things we don't. I am sure this is a big mess waiting to happen. (I am also seeing another Babies R Us meltdown in my future.) That will be it's very own blog entry.

Derek and I are also in the midst of a debate on what to do with Beckett's hair. As many of you have commented (Grandma especially), Beckett has plenty of hair. There is still a bit of patchwork in the back, but the top and front could be our very own cover for Worst Hair magazine. I am still of the opinion that it will calm down once it grows a bit more, but Derek really wants to get it cut. Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.


We could also just follow Dad's lead and start the hat look.

No matter what, he sure is cute especially when it is newly washed and combed...

Roly-Poly

Our little cutie is getting to be more and more interactive. He is definitely interested in playing with his toys and making sure he knows all that is going on around him. As you can see, he enjoys playing with multiple things at once. The other accomplishment last week was that he rolled over for the first time...



But, as always, the little guy is in charge and knows better than to do exactly the same thing each time. That is too predictable! Man, is he cute or what?!
