Another week has passed - time seems to be flying by with Abbie and we are one week closer to being in our new house! The closing is officially on the 15th and we are moving in on the 16th!
We took Abbie for her 4 month well baby check this week, about 2 weeks late, but I was waiting on her records from her doctor in Utah to get here. The appointment went great, other than those horrible shots. Dr. Morgan (whom I love by the way!) said she was perfect, had a "smooth reach", and was very advanced for her age! How can you not love a doctor that says all that about your child??!! She weighed in at just under 13 1/2 lbs and was a little over 25" long. AND she said we could start Abbie on some first foods! Baby oatmeal w/ organic butter, and whatever other fruits and veggies we wanted to try. I for one am very excited about this because she's been waking up in the night again so I am hoping the extra food will help her start sleeping through. I will say though I was a little sad at first because I thought this meant breastfeeding would dwindle away, but I was happy to hear that the cereal and other stuff is just to supplement the milk. Phew. I am nowhere ready to give that up yet! So anyways, we started oatmeal mixed w/ breastmilk yesterday morning....
Then this morning we mixed the oatmeal w/bananas....
Look at her reaching for it!!
Yummy bananas!!
And tonight we tried sweet potatoes!!!
So as you can see, it was all a little messy, but she seemed to like everything and it was fun to watch her try it! It's just one more thing we get to experience with her and another sign she is growing up! She'll be 5 months old in 9 days. I really can't believe it!
Since we've been back we've also gotten to spend a lot of time with our families and some friends. Last weekend we were at Wes's parents, and last week we were able to get together with the Johnson family - Crystal, Danny, Owen and Ben - and today we got to meet Brooke and Anna Parris. I don't have any pictures of Owen and Ben, but I did take one today of Abbie, Brooke and Anna. And here are some others from last weekend...
