We tried our first solid food today! Since Xavier has been getting rice cereal in his bottles for his reflux we decided to try sweet potatoes first. He loved them! He wasn't as big a fan of peas.

4 Month Check-up
May 19, 2011
Xavier's 4 month check-up went great! He is in the 57% for height at 25.5 in and he's in the 48% for weight at 14 lb 15.5 oz. For motor skills, he's rolling front to back, back to front, and will sit with little to no support, or tri-pod sit (holds himself up with his arms between his legs). The Dr said that because of his advanced motor skills that we can start solid food! More to come on that soon.

May St Louis Trip
May 12, 2011
On our trip to St Louis for Auntie Fritz's graduation Xavier got to meet his Uncle Austin and Aunt Jen for the first time. It was funny it watch Austin interact with Xavier. Like most men that haven't had much baby experience Austin was very worried about breaking him, and treated him like he was made of hand-blown glass.
We also celebrated my first Mothers day while we were there. Dru wrote a wonderful blog for me, and we went out for brunch.
Finally to get home Xavier took his first plane ride. TSA at the St. Louis Airport were jerks. They made me take Xavier out of the stroller, then out of the carrier. Then, while I was holding Xavier, the diaper bag, and my purse; TSA made me fold up the stroller and lift it onto the X-ray belt, and put the carrier on the X-ray belt. Then to top it all off, when I carried Xavier thru the body scanner, they asked me to lift up Xavier's bib so they could see under it! Thankfully, the passenger in front of me helped get everything off the X-ray, but seriously!
On a positive note, the flight wasn't full so Xavier got his own seat, and did very well on the flight.
