Eve’s 4 month check up

Eve had her 4mo doctor’s visit today.
She’s now 15lbs and 25 1/2″ and all is well. She’s in the 75%
for weight, 90% for height, and 50% for head circumference.
She’s strong and holding her head up, “good core strength” said
the doctor. She also got her 2nd round of vaccinations. She was
non too pleased about them, but she’s sleeping peacefully now.
Such a good baby.

We discussed starting
solids and I think I’m going to wait a few weeks. You’re
supposed to start between 4 and 6 months. I think she has many
of the readiness signs (reaches for food, grabs my spoon,
starting to sit up, head control) but not all of them (hunger
for more than milk, putting everything in the mouth). More
importantly, I’m just not ready for her to be on solids yet :)
It takes a lot of time when baby starts solids, especially with
the Super Baby Food plan we prefer. I’m going to wait a few
more weeks until she seems a bit more ready and I’ve settled
into things.
