Not too much to update on the house renovations. We have an electrician coming over the next couple of weeks to update the electric service. I don't find it overly excited and you can be assured that I won't be taking any pictures of it.
In other news Jax had his 4 month pedi appointment. He is actually closer to 4.5 months old but we had to reschedule his original 4 month pedi appointment due to one of the storms we had before Christmas. His stats are as follows:
Height: 25.75 inches which is the 65th percentile
Weight: 16 pounds 12 ounces which is the 72nd percentile
Head Circumference is 44.5 centimeters (no percentile given)
He was just a peanut when he was born at 6 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches long. He is a growing boy! In that vein we discussed starting solid foods with the pedi. We feel that he has been giving us cues that he is ready; for example, he is interested in our food and is eating more periodically. The pedi agreed and we are doing rice cereal on a spoon daily until 6 months. At 6 months we will move him to real food (pureed, of course). Dex is planning on doing homemade baby food using The Magic Bullet that I got him for Christmas and this website. I am sure this will be an adventure you will be reading about on this blog in the future.
On Thursday night we did the first try of the rice cereal. It was fun -- Jax definitely knew what to do with the spoon! I have a video that I am going to try and upload but for now here is one picture before we got started:
And here is another cute pic:
Thanks for reading!
He is so adorable!! I especially love the pic in his carseat. Congrats again on your handsome baby boy and the new house. I look forward to reading the updates and watching Jax grow!

Like father like son - I love the last pic. I can't believe how much he, Jax of course, has grown in just a few weeks.
