Jet Setter ~ 4 Months




At Cody's 4 month wellness visit, he weighed a whopping 16lbs 8 oz's and 25 1/2 inches long. He is now wearing 6-9 month cloths. I for sure thought he was in the 90% for weight but he was only 75% in both height and weight. His doctor said he would have to weigh over 20lbs to be considered really chunky, but to me he is still my chubby monkey.

This past week Cody took his second plane ride in 4 months. He's a seasoned flyer now. Again, he did very good. Didn't cry at all on our trip up to Mass and was only a bit cranky (luckily Daddy was with us) on our way back. We had a fantastic time. We spent a bunch of time with my family and of course with the friends. The only issue was all the kids were sick and Cody got his first cold. Started with a little runny nose and now has a cough, no fever though. It's that time of year, what can you do.

Cody is moving along quite well. Based on my What to expect book, he is hitting all the milestones except the rolling over. I think his chunky legs are getting in the way. If I put him on his side, he will roll either to his tummy or back but thats it. We are working on tummy time everynight. He can move his toys from one hand to another, focus on your face, smile and laugh at everything and is grabbing at all my jewelry. He is so damn cute....

We have started him on cereal and once he got the hang of it, seems to really like it. He opens his month in anticipation of the spoon and is grabbing at his bottle with his chubby little hands. We will be starting him on his veggies this week. Peas and beans to start, then the sweeter veggies and finally on fruits. I've herd it's better to start on the less desirable foods so he won't get used to the sweets and may not the the green veggies. I will post pics of how it goes

Having him with me this past week just make me treasure every moment even more. I cannot picture our lives without him. ....
