No Longer a Fatty
I took Asher to his three-month checkup today by myself. Yep, believe it or not, this was the first time I've ventured out of the house alone with Asher. Everything went fine, aside from the usual crying in the car, crying in the doctor's office, and crying in the car again. Both baby and mommy are very tired now.
This visit was pretty uneventful. Asher is up to 13 pounds and 11 ounces and measures in at 24 inches long, so he's in the 50th percentile for both weight and height. Remember a couple of months ago, he was in the 90th percentile for weight and the 50th for height. I'm happy to see that his weight has kind of tapered off to match better with his height. At least, for now...next month we'll get to start him on cereal and possibly some fruit, so he may start packing on the pounds again. Actually, the doctor said if he seems unsatisfied with the amount of milk he gets, we can attempt to give him a little cereal now, though he may not be developmentally ready for it yet. So, we may have some pictures of a sloppy baby pretty soon!

I'm very proud of you mommy! Before you know it he'll be your best accessory and it'll be like Stephen who????
Grammy had all the babies on cereal by her 2 weeks of leaving us so we could get a decent nights rest; and all the kids turned out healthy. So give it a 'go' and see how he does. I think the babes started out on barley.
Love,

Way to go. Now that you have ventured out with Asher alone, you will want to do it all the time. Emerson and I love getting out and about.
Also, you can try adding a little rice cereal to Asher's bottle. I would add a couple of teaspoons to a bottle of breast milk and it seemed to satisfy her.
