18 weeks

With 18 weeks came several milestones for Andrew.  First, he went in to see Dr. H for his 4 month check and vaccinations. 

Here are the numbers:
Weight: 15.6 lbs (75thpercentile)
Length: 26 inches (90th percentile)

He did very well and only cried for about 5 seconds after getting his shots.  Dr. H. said he looked great and we will see him back in December for his 6 month check. 

Next up, we officially have a baby that can roll over.  He rolls over from front to back and back to front.  I often find him on the opposite end of the crib in the mornings because he has managed to roll over a few times during the night.  This also means that we officially have to buckle him in to any and every toy and/or carrier, because he will do his best to try and get out now! 

Lastly, Dr H. gave us the go ahead to start rice cereal.  I would like to say that he is loving this new addition to his diet, but after 4 days he still is not much of a fan.  Hopefully he will take to it more in the coming days.  Dr. H. said we could also start on Stage 1 fruits and veggies towards the end of this month, so at least we have something else to try if he continues to hate the rice cereal!

I have included a video of him eating rice cereal for the first time.  Nothing exciting at all.  This is purely for us and for Grandparents! :)
