OK, I know it is late, but I am excited. I think I just got the Photopress plugin working for this site, so what it means is that very soon I should have a picture up in a post. In fact, we will try and get a fresh picture of Mara up here tomorrow as soon as we can!

4 month pediatrician visit
Today I went to the pediatrician for my 4 month appointment. I now weigh 12lbs 5.5oz and have reached a height of 23¼ inches. My head circumference is 39¾ centimeters.
They also had to stick me again not once but four times. I remember these same shots from my 2 month visit.
Since week 15 of life mom & dad have introduced Similac Advance formula to my diet. Mom’s milk supply was diminishing so that week I had some of both breast milk and formula but since then I’ve been strictly eating my formula.
I eat five bottles a day around three hours apart and between 6-7 ounces each time.
It has been going well though because I haven’t had any problems so far. I’m pooping more and mom & dad call my heavy pee pee diapers pee pee bricks because I go so much more now.
Dr. Lowe, my pediatrician, says I can now start eating 3-4 tablespoons of plain dry baby cereal mixed with formula 1-2 times a day. This should be fun for mom & dad since I push spit out of my mouth consistently throughout the day. I’m a very slobbery baby! Mom’s planning on going out tomorrow to purchase my new food so I can have some tomorrow. Knowing these two they will document it on film like they do everything else. It’s like the paparazzi live here with me!

First Post
So, this is the first post to Mara’s blog. Things will go gently here as Mom and Dad get used to the blog itself, the software behind it, and what we will do with this site. It isn’t as easy as it was first hoped to be. But we do have ideas to try, some a little more grand than others (meaning some day we might actually get the knowledge of how to do it). One of the first things we will try to do is find out how to post pictures here and get that going. We would like to start a “picture of the day” category I think.
