4 month doctors Appointment & 17 weeks old

September 11, 2009 Riley turned 17 weeks old today. Yesterday we went to the doctor for her 4 month check-up and shots. The doctor said we can now feed her a little bit of rice cereal everyday. Once she gets use to it and can keep the food in her mouth then we can move on to jar foods. Riley has been watching us eat our dinners and seems very interested in the food we eat. Also she pushes her tongue out when you put anything to her lips. These are signs of when babies are ready for cereal. Riley's weight is 15 pounds 1 oz which is 75% percentile. Her height is 25 1/2 inches which is 90% percentile and the circumference of her head is 16 1/2 inches which is 75% percentile. Everything went well and the next time we go into the doctor is for her 6 month check-up and shots. Also, I had posted before about Riley getting her first tooth, well that was wrong! The doctor took a look and said that it was a calcium deposit on her gums and it would just go away. I never knew anything about this. Oh well, soon enough she will have a whole mouth full of pretty white teeth
