Mom and Dad picked me up early from Surisa's as we had my 4 month check-up with Dr. Sideridis. Dr. Sideridis is really cool especially when he lets me play with his stethoscope. Dad likes Dr. Sideridis too because he laughs at his jokes and Mom like my doctor because he's very thorough and spends a lot of time with us on each visit. Mom was happy today when she found out that I have the Pediatrician's stamp of approval to start eating rice cereal and solid foods. Of course I'm going to have to work my way up to the solid foods but my goal in life so far is to get my hands on some Texas BBQ! Dr. Sideridis couldn't believe when he heard today that I've been eating 9 ounces formula at a time. Please Dr. S, Surisa has been knowing this for weeks now :-). Everyday I would hear Surisa asking Mom " Is it time for cereal yet" and Mom would say, "No, we have to wait for the Pediatrician to say it's OK and they said to wait until 4 months". Apparently, there's a risk of me getting food allergies or something. Heck, I don't know I'm just happy that I'm on my way to some BBQ!
OH yeah, I almost forgot. Today at the doctors I got 4 shots (2 in each leg). It wore me out so bad that I had to take a nap (see me above). Before the shots, this really cute nurse measured, weighed, and checked my motor skills. As of today, I am 25 1/2 inches long (75 percentile); 15lbs 5.7 oz. (50 percentile) and 16 1/4 inches for the circumference of my head (25 percentile). The good news is that I still do not have a charlie brown head... whew! My parents are hoping that with my height I could be a NBA basketball player so that they can retire early. I told them fat chance....... I've got my eye on a political career.
So that's all for today folks. Tomorrow marks my official 4 month birthday and I'm looking forward to a fun filled day of toys, playing outside with Surisa, eating more of the delicious cereal and zerberts from my Mom and Dad.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Love,
Emerson
