4 month Dr Update

The pole weighs 19lbs, 5oz and measures 26inches long. Last week he discovered the use of his hands, and its gripping everything in site. The Dr said there are no teeth, but he keeps shoving everything in his mouth and gumming it.
We are starting solids. We told the Dr that the pole has not been a huge fan of rice cereal. The Dr said "Of course he doesn't like it. Its cold and mushy. Try some of the level one foods like peaches and pears!". Unfortunately I read that starting with sweet fruits can cause problems when the baby tries veggies, b/c they will not like the stronger flavor. We decided to compromise and start with sweet potatoes. The pole did ok (pics to come) and ended up wearing most of it....but there were no "ugly" faces as with the rice cereal...so that's a good start!
