4 mos

Wow has time flown. On the 27th of September, Gordon turned 4 months old. I can't believe that already.  He had his 4 month old check-up and it went well. He's already 27.5 inches long (off the charts as far as percentages go) and 17.1bs (85%), to help put that in perspective he's wearing 6/9 month clothing (9months if they are one piece outfits) which is amazing.

We aren't doing vaccinations, so we didn't have that to go thru during his well child check-up. He's hitting all the milestones for someone at this age, and a few he's even ahead. Lately he's been pushing his chest up, and almost getting up on his knees. It doesn't seem like it will be long before he's crawling, he's already pushing himself backwards, so he's won half the battle.  It's really cute watching him get annoyed because he pushes himself backwards to the point he can't go anywhere.  He's rolling over on to his tummy (been doing that for several weeks already), but hasn't quite figured out yet how to go from tummy to front. It will come.

We tried cereal the other night but I think we will hold off on that. It's not that he's not ready. He is, he loved eating cereal, his tummy didn't like it very much. He cried and was very fussy the next day.  I was talking to a chiropractor friend of another friend of mine last night. She suggested since Gordon, is already showing food sensitivity to hold off on the cereals, but trying foods that are "good" fats and easier on the tummy to digest, like a yolk(not the egg white) and avocados. So I'm going to do a little more research into that and see.  He's showing signs he's wanting foods: waking up more at night, batting/swiping at your food if he's in your lap, watching you eat, and the tongue reflex is gone. SO we'll see what happens in the coming weeks.

God Bless
