Month Five

At the beginning of this month, Jackson had his 4 month appointment. He got shots, and he was weighed! 17lbs, 5oz and 27.5 inches long. What a big boy! We got the go ahead to start cereal, and that was the beginning of lots of fun.

Jackson loves cereal! You'd think rice cereal was the best thing on earth. He's so happy to try something besides a bottle, and he loves sitting his high chair. I can't believe how fast he's growing up. We started with rice cereal, and we also did oatmeal this month. He really loved the oatmeal, but it didn't help as much with spit up as rice cereal did. Once we were sure that he wasn't allergic to oatmeal, we went back to rice cereal because it had helped so much with his spit up. After his 6 month appointment (which is April 5th), we will probably be starting fruits and vegetables. His doctor recommends holding off until 6 months for that, so we're waiting until then.

One of the best things about this month was that Jackson figured out the camera! He's become such a ham, anytime I turn the camera towards him he starts smiling. It was a lot of fun to capture him being so cute.

He started trying to crawl this month (trying being the key word), and he also rolled over. I have youtube links to both to post. The crawling attempt is harder to see, but I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunity to get some more of that one. I also have a video of him splashing in the bathtub. He loves to splash! There are also pictures of him tripod sitting, which is really cute!
