Next we move to November 30, Connor's 4 month "birthday" and his 4 month check up!! His stats were: 14 lbs. and 24 1/2 inches! He has officially doubled his weight and grown 6 1/2 inches since he was born! Growing like a weed!! He also had to get his 2nd round of shots, which he was not too happy about. He was a little cranky afterwards, but for the most part he handled it like a champ! At his appointment we also got the go-ahead to start solid foods! That takes us into December.....
On Dec. 1st Connor tried rice cereal from a spoon!! (Pictures below!) He wasn't really sure what to do with it, but he did pretty good! And he really seemed to like it! We continued on rice cereal for a couple days and then gave him some homemade sweet potatoes!! (I am home-making all his baby food). He really liked them, but still wasn't sure what to do with it, so we held off for about a week and then tried again!! He has had sweet potatoes and carrots to date (he seems to like both) and next we'll try some green beans!!! He sure is funny when he eats though! He's gotten a lot better at swallowing his food now and he gets antsy for more while he's eating!
Connor has also made a few other milestones recently! He had his first playdate with his friend Sterlyn! She is exactly 5 weeks younger than him and is as cute as can be! And he has done the "double roll", when he rolls from his back to front, then to his front and back again! He has also discovered his feet and seems to like them a lot!! His socks never stay on long anymore, and typically end up in his mouth! LOL. He has been sleeping pretty good through out the night, getting about 8 hours in, he had a little setback recently, but after taking him out of the Swaddle Me and putting him in a sleep sack, he seems to be back on schedule!! =) Connor also got to meet Santa for the first time!! He did so well! He even smiled at Santa! Next year shall be a more interesting visit with Santa since he will be paying a bit more attention =) And our favorite, but the messiest of the new things he has learned... blowing bubbles/spitting!! Not sure where he learned it, but he gets slober everywhere!! Lol. We went to our friends baby shower and Connor met some new friends, Kai (1 week older than Connor) and Chloe (1 week younger than Connor). It was so funny to see all of them together and we cant wait to see them agasin! He is just getting cuter by the day and I can tell he is sure going to be a heartbreaker!! His smile is contagious!! =)
This week (Saturday) will be Connor's First Christmas!!! We are very excited for it!! We leave on Wednesday to head to Naples, FL to spend the holiday at the beach with my family!! SUPER EXCTIED!!! This will be Connor's 2nd time flying, his first time seeing the ocean and sand, and his first time meeting his Uncle Sam and his Great-Grandpa "Paw Paw"!! This will also be our first official Family Vacation!! Wish us luck!!! ;)
