Cereal

Today we started Braydon on cereal! I was very surprised how well he did eating off of the spoon. When we first tried to feed Reed cereal we had a lot of difficulty and finally had to resort to giving him his cereal in a bottle for a little while. From the way Braydon started out today it looks like he is going to adapt to the spoon quit easily. He didn't eat to much but I wasn't expecting him to. I was able to get some pics of him. i wanted to take some video but Graham was preoccupied both times I fed him and it is a little hard trying to hold a video camera in one hand while trying to feed a squirmy baby. Hopefully I can get some video of him this weekend cause every time he saw the spoon he would either squeal or give a big smile. If he gets this excited over cereal I can't wait to see what he does when we give him baby food.

4 months

Yesterday I took Braydon for his 4 month well check. He is developing just like he should be. He has complete head control and he can grab things when put him front of him. He is also growing very well. He is still having issues with his reflux but just as long as we give him his medicine we can usually keep it under control. He still cries a lot but that is slowly getting less and less. We are going to start him on cereal so I am hoping that this will help with the fussiness. The doc also said that the cereal will help with his spitting up.

Here is the comparision of the two boys growth charts at 4 months:

Reed
17 lbs 5 oz - 91%
26 1/2 in - 93%

Braydon
15 lbs - 45%
26 1/2 in - 90%

So needless to say Braydon is gonna be our basketball player cause he is gonna be tall and skinny!

School

Today I signed Reed up for 3-K. He will be attending Hope Academy which is located on Woodruff Rd. about 1 1/2 miles from where we live. I met with the director this morning to learn about the programs that they offer and from everything that she was telling me this sounds like the perfect school for Reed. I was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to start school this semester because he is still not potty trained but she told me that is doesn't matter just as long as we are making an honest effort to do so. Reed will be going to school 3 days a week from 8:30 to 12. They will do anywhere from 4-8 fieldtrips in a school year which include going to a farm and picking apples and pumpkins as well as seeing some of the childrens plays at the Peace Center. I am so excited for him he is going to have so much fun! Now we just have to meet with his teacher so she can do an assement and then we have open house the thurs. before labor day and he starts school the week after.
