Shots Not Fun

I'm so relieved Braeden's 4-month-old shots are behind us, and I'm sure he is too. He had a bit of a reaction this time (which he didn't at 2 months). Nothing major, some pain and a little fever, but Tylenol helped and he was fine in a couple of days.

He weighs 15 pounds, 5 ounces, is 25 1/2 inches long, and is doing great. His pediatrician said we could start messing around with the cereal eaten from a spoon stuff, so we're doing that, and he's doing very well. He loves that cereal. We're just experimenting for now, mainly getting him used to the spoon. We got him a "Bumbo"chair to help him sit up (he still needs some support), and that's working great for the spoon feeding. Thank goodness we also got one of those rubberized bibs with a big pocket to catch drippings..hehe.

His babbling has turned more to squealing, which goes on for most of the day. He only takes a couple of short naps, otherwise he's a busy little guy. Since he discovered his feet and toes, he's content to lie in his bed for an hour playing with them and sucking on his toes. Too cute. I guess naps are going to keep lessening. That's fine with me. I love playing - he's so much fun, loves everything. Let's hope that carries on to fruit and veggies when he reaches that point in about 6 weeks.

Will write more later.
