Carter at 4 months

On Monday, Carter went for his four-month well visit. Here are his stats:

height: 26 inches (75%)
weight: 12 pounds (2%)
head circumference: 17 inches (64%)

We got the okay from the doctor to start him on rice cereal. I could've started him a couple weeks ago, since he was actually four months old on August 6, but I just wanted to make sure. Now that he's tried rice for a week, we're going to try oatmeal for a week, and then barley the following week. He gets the cereal once a day. When he's five months old we will introduce veggies, and then at six months he will try fruits. So by that time, he'll be eating three solid meals a day, to mimic our eating schedule. And of course he still gets his milk with and between each meal.
