Porter has recently hit his 4 month mark and has grown immensely in these few short months. At his 4 month check-up a couple of days ago, Porter weighed in at 15lbs 10oz (63rd percentile), and measured at 25 3/4 inches (79th percentile)!! WOW!
Physical changes I've noticed thus far: thunder thighs..LOVE EM!! fuller face, rolls at his "wrists" that aren't detectable, more scratches on his poor little face (and mine), but that's not news.
...It seems as though I am trimming his nails twice a week!
And all around he has pretty much filled out. I remember when I was once able to lay him on my lap facing me, his entire body would fit in the length, now it's only his upper body! I've been told by several people that he is going to be a tall boy...just like his daddy :) I can't wait! Well, yes...I can. Just saying though.
Dr. Petitt informed Deven and I that we can now start feeding him foods! YAY! I am so excited! I've already ordered in a high chair online (my 2nd online shopping experience...) if you are interested, it's the Graco Contempo Rittenhouse high chair. I decided to go for a gender neutral one seeing how I plan and hope to have more children. I had probably looked over a variety of 100 different high chairs and read ALL of the reviews for a total of 4 weeks now. Finally, I've found one I feel comfortable purchasing. It just arrived yesterday and luckily there was no set-up required:)
Although...I told Deven I had set it up all by myself when he got home around midnight from work and he was pretty impressed:) Too bad I have this built-in guilt trip mind that had me confessing the truth after what, like 5 seconds? The glory of his approval didn't last long. haha!
We plan to feed Porter his FIRST EVER "solids" tomorrow to celebrate Mother's Day...I'm thinking we'll either go with rice cereal or applesauce. Any ideas?

let's at least hope these boys are tall like their dads and not short like their moms!
ReplyDeleteIce cream and cookies!
ReplyDeleteKelly: Looking at how tall he is now, I can definately see him taking after his dad with the height. Thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteGrandma: ahhahaha! Yeah, hmmm...reminds me of Grandpa. You'll have to make those memories with him as he gets older though....I still remember all of the memories of ice-cream and cookies with you! Oh, and how it was the cake you were taking away from me as a bribe to get me to walk..and IT WORKED! Who would've known!? Only Grandma!
