Rylee 4 months

14 lb 14 oz (79th %)
24.5 "

The Dr said anytime between now and 6 Months we can start her on rice cereal. I know she has a PHD and all, but Rylee's a baby. Baby's don't eat cereal, sorry. (I'm pretty sure this is called 'denial')

She is doing good, starting to giggle more, and likes to be 'choked':

She's fairly happy most of the time and she/we are getting better at her putting herself to sleep. She still likes her face/eyes covered (unless its her headband) and she usually accomplishes this by interlocking her fingers/fists and putting them over her eyes while rolling to her side burrying her face in the covers/bumper pads. For the most part she doesn't mind tummy time and rolls more frequently from back to belly then reversed. I think she forgets she actually CAN go the other way, and when she's done, screams. It's always a surprise where she'll be in the crib and in which direction. Gone are the days of NOT needing my glasses to go get her (she's not a big fan of me shoving her bink up her nose or poking her in the eye).

About 2-4 times a month she randomly wakes up at 4am and then again at 4:30. Don't know quite what for.

Her bald spot (and drooling) is out of control! (when can I expect new hair to grow and not disappear during nap time?) I am seriously considering cutting off the mullet.

Lately when 'standing' in our lap she'll lift one leg like a ballerina. We then exaggerate her dance moves and laugh.

She likes to sit up (in our lap/bumbo)

She still isn't showing too much interest in toys or the like but if you talk to her she'll smile and most of the time gabber right back at ya.

Her smiles melt my heart - as does watching her sleep. We're just loving up our first-time-parent moments. love that girlie.

She is so sweet. Crazy that she is 4 months old. We look forward to seeing the queen and her princess soon!!

If she is sleeping fine and doesn't need the cereal, then don't push it. She will have plenty of time to start eating that stuff. Peyton woke up a lot, so we put it in his bottle. Probably started feeding him around 5 months, but only for fun. They don't quite get it then. I remember Ryan asking how we were going to get cereal in his bottle...he was thinking cherios and not baby cereal. Ahhh boys!
If the doctor says she is fine...then go with your gut. You know her best!

Yeah, we didn't do rice cereal or anything until 6 months. And now that we've started solids, we're not doing rice cereal at all. (Landon's first food was banana) My Dr. was not happy I didn't start cereal at 4 months, but too bad, it's my baby!

4 months and totally cute! We didn't do rice cereal until around 6 months either. Do what you want. She will be just fine.
