Colton is 5 days short of four months. But he's still growing with leaps (literally) and bounds. He is 15 lbs 6 oz (60 percentile), 24 3/4" long (50 percentile) and his head is between 50-75%. He was very happy and Dr. Cafaro was happy to see him and his progress.

The best news is that she gave the go-ahead to move to solid foods. Yippee (my sleep, breast pump, dish hands and overall body thank you!). She said to start with the green foods (beans and peas), move to orange (carrots and squash) and leave the fruits for a while. I guess once they get the taste of bananas there's no turning back ;p

We can also add oatmeal to the rice. How exciting, my little boy is growing so quickly. I love this stage though as he wants to pay attention to everything. I think sometimes the "toys" that are made for today's babies are too busy. Colton is absolutely content being held by grandpa and staring at the metal ring that holds the hand towel at the Shorewood house. Or he will stare at pictures. He doesn't need ringing bells and flashing lights.

He got his four month shots today and is napping. I'm excited for him to wake up and try his whole new world of eating off a spoon!

Today Colton grabbed his soft blue teddy bear given to him by Gramma Lele. He pulled it to his tummy and played with it between his legs (since he prefers to touch everything with his little "feets").

This means we'll have to move out the toys until after he's 6 months (the height of the danger of SIDS).  This is fine because our little baby is growing every day :)
