Maddie went to the doctor on September 14. She was exactly 4 months old and Aunt Rae Rae went with us too. Maddie's appointment went well. We talked about her new formula and we told Dr. Howelton how much she loves it. She is a different baby with her new formula. Dr. Howelton said she can begin to eat rice cereal because she is taking 6 oz. at each feeding. We were so excited to begin introducing new food to her. Dr. Howelton also went over 4 month information such as: Maddie needs to put herself to sleep, face rear in the carseat, begin turning over soon, and holding her head up when laying on her tummy. She is doing good with going to sleep. At daycare, they said she is the easiest baby to get to sleep. She is sleeping through the night in her big girl bed too.


Maddie's is measuring in at: 12 lbs. 9 oz. and 24 inches long. Her doctor said she is a little underweight from her 2 month check up so we need to make sure she is eating every 3-4 hours. She will catch up soon!


Here is some pictures of Maddie eating her rice cereal for the first time. We captured it on video. She loved it but we were histerical because she kept spitting it back out. Her tongue would go in and out. She is figuring it out though. So cute!
