Wow today was a whirlwind!
We first went to the doctor for Simon's 4 month checkup. Simon is now 13 pounds 12 ounces (42nd percentile) and 25 inches long (71st percentile). Simon also received more shots which he wasn't very happy about but has since decided that he will not hold a grudge.

Here is Simon showing off his band-aids in his amply growing thighs.

We also received the go ahead from the doctor to start water and solids. After being told Simon will probably not like the water, we found out that he certainly loves it. He promptly took 2 ounces.
It was then time for the star of the show. RICE CEREAL! Simon was quite intrigued by the texture and taste of this new treat.

It took a few spoonfuls for him to catch on but once he did, he liked it and was asking for more. Here are a few pictures of this "momentous" occasion.

We'll soon have videos too.
