4 month checkup

Vanessa is 15 pounds now. Somewhere in the boxes of baby clothing is the Beast Mode onesie that she got at my baby shower. That onesie is definitely appropriate at this current time. Dr. C (I'm generally excellent with pronouncing names, but can't pronounce our pediatrician's name for the life of me) has given us the go to begin cereals (rice, barley, oats) and stage 1 fruits like apples, pears, and peaches.

Thus far, V detests the rice cereal, no matter if it is warm or cold. I tried it and it's pretty bland. Even if we mix it with fruits, she's not the biggest fan.

This is a picture from the very first time we gave her food. Fortunately, it is less than a full month later and it's easier to feed her. We anticipated a mess the first time we fed her, hence the almost nude baby.

So far, the biggest winner of the baby foods has been Gerber's pears mixed with cinnamon oatmeal. I actually tried it myself. It's delicious. Yeah...I tried baby food. Whatever. If the baby can eat it, so can I. I'm actually so happy she loved the cinnamon and oatmeal. Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices. Like mother, like daughter.
