The Florida Belts

Logan had his 4 month baby well visit today and everything checked out great.  He is growing like a weed and has definitely caught up with full term (40 week) babies in the weight and height growth charts!  His head circumference is still on the small side, but the doc said it’s nothing to worry about at this point.

Now that Logan is over 15 lbs, we have removed the pack and play bassinet.  He is taking baths without the newborn netting in his baby tub.  He’s also wearing 3-6 month and 6-9 months clothes, depending on the brand.

He has been given the green light to start solid foods now.  He’ll start with rice cereal or oatmeal this weekend and then can move to veggies and fruit.  For now he will eat solids twice per day and once he can sit up we will increase that to three times per day.

He’s still not sitting up unassisted or rolling over yet, but given his early arrival the pediatrician is not concerned about that.  We’ve been instructed to give him more floor time on his back and tummy to help strengthen his neck and arm muscles.  He’s smiling, talking, and laughing now.  He’s taken notice of the tv and has started tracking things that move (like Wrigley and the kitties).

Logan has been a great night sleeper and usually either sleeps through the entire night or wakes up once around 4:00am.  We haven’t had a ton of luck getting him to nap much during the day when he’s home, but figure we should just be happy that he’s sleeping through most nights already.
