Today was a big day for Riley. We started out by heading to the doctors for our 4 month appointment. We have done quite a bit of growing over the last few weeks. Riley's stats are currently:
Weight: 15.5 (87%)
Height: 27" (99%)!!!!
They could not believe how long she was, nor could I!! She got the same four shots she got at her 2 month appointment, along with the oral vaccine. She didn't like the shots at all, and to make matters worse the nurse hit a "blood vessel" on the last shot, so it was a gusher. I was not able to pick her up because the nurse needed to put pressure on the blood. So she just had to lay there crying and looking at me. Granted it was only a few seconds, but when she is crying, it seemed like forever. But once I picked her up she was ok, but totally did not want to let me go. Once we got home she took a 2 hour nap and woke up happy as ever.
This evening was another big event, we started solids. Well, we started watery rice cereal. We put her in her highchair and she immediately hated it and started to cry. I think that it was because 1. it didn't have enough support to keep her upright yet and 2. She was hungry so she just wanted her bottle. But she ate some and then really just wanted to bottle. So I fed her the bottle and then we went back to the cereal and she seemed to enjoy it much more. I also put her in the Bumbo chair instead of the highchair. Overall, I think the first day went well with the cereal. Next up......I am going to try to make my own baby food.......I will let you know how that goes!!
