Hi little girl –

Today was a pretty eventful day! Grandpa Tatro is here visiting. You got to see your friends at playgroup today. And then we went to the doctors for your 4-month checkup.

Clean bill of health – doing everything you should be doing: holding your head up; using both hands to grab and manipulate toys; smiling and cooing… When I asked whether the gospel choir might be hurting your ears, she said no, keep going. When I asked if there was anything I can do to help you sleep (you’re getting up 4 times a night to eat) and help me make more milk (you’re getting up 4 times a night to eat 😉 ), Dr. Brown said it might be time to try some rice cereal! She said the first few times will just be helping you learn how to eat something off of a spoon and swallow. If you like it, after a week or so, we can try other kinds of cereal. If that goes well, we can start fruits & veggies. How fun! I’m not sure if I’M ready for this transition, but I’ll give it a shot…

SOOOO, the most exciting event of the day was your first attempt at eating cereal.

Other interesting news of the day: you got 3 more immunizations (cried for only a minute, and this time Mommy didn’t cry – just held you tight). Dr. Brown gave us a letter saying she is moving to Massachusetts… very sad! She is AWESOME and we will certainly miss her!!

So grateful you are healthy and strong, Peanut!
