Mireya is 4 months old today. She had her wellness visit with her pediatrician and he said she is doing very well. She is continuing to grow just as she should. These are her statistics:

Weight: 12 lbs 3 oz, 28 percentile
Height: 24.5 in, 72 percentile
Head Circumference: 15.5 in, 17 percentile

She is also hitting all of her developmental goals, of course. This time we were prepared for her immunizations and we gave her Tylenol before the appointment. I will never be able to prepare for how bad I feel when I see her reaction to the shots, though. I just hate to see her cry! They really need to figure out a way to give all immunizations orally.

I’m so excited that Mireya is now old enough to start solids! We have already given her rice cereal and she loves it. She hasn’t yet figured out the whole spoon thing, but she seems to enjoy trying. Sometime in the next few days we are going to try real foods. You can watch a video of her trying rice cereal for the first time on her gallery.

After trying almost every single type of formula out there over the last 2 months, trying to figure out a balance between spitting up and constipation, we are going back to the first formula she ever had. Hopefully mixing it with rice cereal will be what finally works. Unless there are major problems, we will just stick with it. I hate having to switch formulas all the time. It must be hard on her little system, plus now we can use solid foods to help control her issues.
