The end result of rice cereal... do you think he liked it? :)
Sawyer had his four month check up on Wednesday (12/1/10). He weighed in at 16.2 lbs and was 25 inches long. Little man is growing fast! He also had to get his shots and did a really good job. He only cried when they stuck him and then I picked him up and held him and he calmed down right away. The doctor and the nurses all loved Sawyer and thought he was a really happy baby. We just got the internet again on Friday so I can update the blog AND my computer came last weekend which means I can upload some pictures to the blog.
At Sawyer's four month check up his pediatrician said we could start feeding him rice cereal in the evenings before bed. She seemed to think this would help him sleep longer through the night and prevent him from waking up every 2 hours. So last night we tried to feed Sawyer one tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with four tablespoons of breast milk. He went to bed for good at 11:00 pm, woke up at 12:30am, woke up at 3:30 am, had a massive poop, stayed up until 4:30 am, and then went back to sleep until about 8:00 am. He didn't wake up every 2 hours, but still not the long stretch I was looking for. I don't think he even swallowed very much rice cereal.
Luckily, Friday night Sawyer had a stretch of 6 hours he slept (keep in mind Friday during the day Sawyer took ONE nap for TEN minutes, the little guy was pooped by bed time). Saturday he did sleep for about 4 and a half hours at one time. Other than that he woke every 2 hours at night.
Enjoy a few pictures:

Everything goes in the mouth
