Fantastic 4

Lucy made it to her 4 month Dr. appointment without a hitch!

She is doing great, weighing in at nearly 14 lbs. Developmentally she is right where she needs to be, maybe even a little advanced. (Those feet she found, turns out most kids don't find them for another 2 months.) Thankfully the Dr. informed me that second and subsequent children usually do things quicker than the first (um, hello...you'd think he'd never met Rex) and told me to start preparing the house for her crawling and scooting around. The fact she can't roll yet doesn't make him think she will move any less quickly, in fact her big brothers and their early walking just made him recommend getting baby gates asap. (Sweet.)

One of the coolest parts about our trip was his ok to start feeding Lucy some cereal. Right after the appointment (and story time, and a trip to Culvers so Rex could get 'Culverized' [they sent him a free sundae coupon for his b-day and he continues to use their catchy phrase whenever he talks about eating there]) we went to Target to pick up an array of feeding supplies and some rice cereal.

After two bites, she started crying. I thought she hated the stuff, she was screaming like I was torturing her. Turns out I was. My cautious feeding was not nearly fast enough for our little piglet. She wanted more, and more, and more. She ate the entire bowl.

Can't wait to see how she does with veggies next month!
