Marco is 4 months old

On Thursday, Marco had his 4 month check up. He's 16 lbs 1 oz, 25.5 inches, and 43.3 cm in the head (99%). Height and weight are somewhere in the 90s for perecentile. The ped gave us the go ahead to give him cereal. Even though we held off until 6 months with Bella, Marco just doesn't sleep as well as she did. He seems hungry, so she said she wants us to start. I actually had to start taking medication to bring up my milk supply b/c I just couldn't keep up. Anyway, that is going well, but I gave him cereal for the 2nd time tonight. This time, he LOVED it. He couldn't get enough. He eats it pretty well too. As for other things, he still has redness in the face and she thinks it's cradle cap that is getting all over his head and face. She wants us to use a hydrocortisone cream sparingly for 2-3 days. I haven't used it yet, but it seems to be getting worse. I meant to put some on him tonight. I think it's best to do it at night first b/c he is swaddled and can't touch his face. We are also greasing him up with Aquaphor.

Bella is doing well. She had the h1n1 shot on Saturday. She was a terror at the office. She screamed and cried. I had to take Marco out of the mei tai, put him down on the table, grab her, and hold her down while the nurse pulled her pants down and gave her the shot. I am not looking forward to going back in 4 weeks!

We took some family shots on Saturday afternoon thanks to my parents and my trusty tripod. We even took Jordan, which was pretty tough! But with a few facial transplants, I got a couple. Still editing since I am a little behind on work sessions, so at some point, I will post them.
