First Foods

At Evia's 4 month check up, her doctor said we could start trying rice cereal and then move to green vegetables when we were ready. By the end, she was wearing more of the cereal than she ate.

4 Months Old

It's been awhile since I last posted. It's been crazy around here with the hurricane and all. This will be a picture post. Evia had her 4 month check up on Monday and she is doing great! She weighs 12 lb 10 oz and is 23.75 in long. This puts her in the 10th and 25th percentiles, respectively, for her age. For her corrected age, she's in the 50th and 75th.
This picture was taken on her actual 4 month birthday.

Here she is sleeping beside me on the couch while I was working.

Tummy time on her boppy.

She can now sit supported for short periods of time. We bought her a bumbo.

Might be time for.....

some new carpet in the bedroom. It appears that Hurricane Ike did reach the interior of our house. We had some water leak into our bedroom carpet, and I didn't find it until it started to smell musty. Seems like it came up through the weepholes. Will need to evaluate the drainage on the side of the house. May have been caused by the extremely heavy rain, or the piles of debris blocking drainage. I'll have to make sure that the drainage path is clear and my gutters are working right too. A section of the carpet and pad was a minor disaster, and the shop vac wasn't cutting it, so the utility knife did. Had to move some furniture and cut out a piece about 3' x 10' on the side wall. To be evaluated again tomorrow to see if more needs to go. There might be even less carpet remaining when Autumn gets home. Will post pictures tomorrow as well as some exterior stuff.
