rice, rice, baby

Per the doctor's request, I have started feeding Presley rice cereal 1 -2 times a day. It's been quite an adventure and a lot more involved than our former feeding routine. She makes the funniest face after her first bite but then is ready to chow down.

It is very important to hold both feet while eating.

I think her favorite part is getting to hold the spoon when she is finished.

rock 'n rollin'

Presley turned 4 months old on Sunday and surprised Jon and I by taking her first roll. She was having trouble trying to figure out how to get her arms from underneath her body, but now she is a pro and will roll every time I put her on the floor. Time to get out the straps for the changing table.




We also had our 4 month appointment with the pediatrician on Monday. Presley weighed in at 14 lbs. 4 oz and 25 inches. The doctor expressed a little concern about Presley's weight because she was now in the 70th percentile, unlike the last two weigh-ins that had her in the 90+ percentile. The Doc thinks Presley might be ready for something more than just breast milk, so she said to go ahead with rice cereal feedings once a day. I am a little bummed because I thought I was going to be able to solely breastfeed until 6 months, but I guess my little chunk is ready for more.

hairy tales

Presley doesn't have a lot of hair yet but Mimi was quick to find out that if you put bedtime lotion in it right after a bath you can actually get a little mohawk. My bow collection will still have to wait.

kisses from presley

Here's another quick video of Presley blowing everyone kisses. We should just dress her in a diaper and a bib with all the slobber she is producing.
