4 month check up!

Hunter had his 4 month check up the beginning of the month but I wanted to talk about it anyways! I have just been busy with family visiting etc so I never got to update that appt. Hunter was 11.3 lbs, which put him in the 5th percentile. He was actually falling off the growth chart =( . The Dr and us decided to add formula to each of his feedings. If he is gaining better with that change then I will stick to that. I was kinda sad that breast feeding was coming to a slow down but I will do whatever is best for Hunter. Got to get some meat on that boy! The Dr also said we could start giving Hunter rice cereal. I was hesitant at first since I kind of wanted to wait until 6 months but she was fine with us starting now. We also made an appt to see the Dr again in exactly 2 weeks to check on Hunter's weight gain. After that appt we went right to the store and got some rice cereal. I was excited to try the first solid food feeding with little man....He did quite well and has been a pretty good eater since then. 

Fast forward 2 weeks....I could tell Hunter had gained weight as his clothes were a bit tighter and he just seemed heavier to hold. We were right, Hunter was now 13.8 lbs!!!!! That's right, he gained 2 pounds in two weeks!!! That was awesome!!!! The Dr was quite happy with his weight gain and that now puts him back on the charts in the 25th percentile! It was a relief in that now we know there isn't something going on that was causing the lack on weight gain...he can gain weight now problem. I guess when I thought he was eating the whole time while nursing he was only half the time and not getting enough maybe? He has another check up with the specialist on the 27th for his noisy breathing. Her only concern was his weight, so maybe this will show that he doesn't need any procedure done??!!! I will update after that appt. In the mean time, here are some pics from Uncle Kyle's visit and Grandpa Bynum's visit....and some random cuteness from today!
