Well, Austin is now 4 months old and growing so much. He loves to sit up (with help of course) and look around. He is always rolling to his tummy and now prefers to sleep that way, which is scary but he rolls there so... I took him for his doctor's appointment this week and he is still smaller than Rexford was at his age. He weighed in at 17 lbs. 15 oz. and was 25.5 inches long. (Rexford was 20 lbs. 2 oz. and 26.25 inches). So maybe he'll take it a little slower and won't be too heavy to carry too soon :) He's already wearing size 4 diapers though. I was relieved to find out that he did not have ringworm as I thought. I was getting concerned because I thought it was spreading. It turns out it is eczema so nothing contagious :) Just have to put lotion on him and keep him from getting dry skin. He wasn't too happy about his 4 shots but was in a pretty good mood the rest of the day.
The doctor said he could try cereal and foods if he seemed interested. He always gets a little mad when we're eating dinner and he's in the bouncy seat or away from us. He wants to sit at the table with us and then he's content. I guess he just wants to be included. Tonight he was sitting on Brian's lap watching us eat so I thought I would make a little rice cereal and let Rexford feed him. He made a face the first couple of spoonfuls and a lot dribbled out of his mouth throughout the feeding but he really started to want it. He opened his mouth and acted like he wanted more. So I think he liked it. Rexford enjoyed feeding him too and I'm glad he got to participate.

So precious! Great order to the pics. You can just hear the drum roll, then the incoming food, the taste test, the extremely happy response (big smile), and then then pause like, "Where's the next scoop?" ~ Poor Brian looks like he had quite a bit of self cleaning to do =). Love that Rexford took part in this big event!
What a good helper Rexford is! Austin looks so happy. It is so nice when they like the food you give them.
