Feed me please!

Well, I'm four months old now. Mommy took me to my pediatrician on November 18th. She said I weighed 15.5 lbs, and was 25 & 1/4 inches long. Mom talked to the doctor about my spitting up issues. It seems that when I'm happy, or at any given time within 20 minutes after I eat, I spit up. Mom learned very early on to have me wear a bib all the time. Dr. Elahee said that as long as it is not projectile (big word for me) spitting and as long as I continue to thrive, it is not a problem. She said that I'm a happy spitter. Then came the good news. I can now eat yummy rice cereal. Mom and dad asked Aunt Joy to feed me the cereal for the first time yesterday. I liked it. The consistency was a little different at first, but I took the task rather seriously and finished my meal. I get 2 - 4 tablespoons a day, and then my usual bottle during the day. Last night I woke up only once to eat. Mom and dad give me 4 oz, but I really need 6 oz.

I'm looking forward to seeing Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Kerrie, and my cousin's Hayden and Tyler for Thanksgiving. Grandma, dad, mom and I will drive up to Austin and spend turkey day with them. I plan to sleep during the whole drive there.

Mom went to Mitchell, South Dakota on November 19th for a recruiting trip. I got to talk to her in the evening before I went to bed. She told me that she missed me so much and hearing my voice, pulled at her heart strings. Wow, do I feel loved!
