4 months old

Seriously can you believe it? I mean on one hand It feels like there was never a time before him, but on the other hand I can't believe how big (kind of) he is! Well he's been teething as anyone with facebook knows. He's got a tiny bit of his bottom right tooth broken through and I can feel the rest of it under there so one of these days we'll have a full one out, which could be bad if he decides to be mean to me while eating. Well we went to the doctor on monday to weigh him, talk to him about some problems Porter has been having and to get his shots. First thing they do was weigh him and since he weighed 10.74 lbs last time i was expecting somewhere in the 13lb range. As the nurse told me the numbers my heart dropped. He weighed 11.56 lbs. Yeah... after 2 months he hadn't even gained a full pound. See I have had some people say "my baby was the third percentile the whole time and it wasn't that bad." The reason it is bad for him to be so small is because he dropped from the 32nd percentile to the 3rd in two months. Soooo. We are to start him on cereal AFTER he's eaten so he might get extra calories and I've been trying to do different tricks to increase my milk supply because we have also noticed that he likes to eat much more often in the last month or so, so we are thinking he wasn't getting enough of that either. In a month we have been instructed to bring him back in for a weigh in and if he hasn't gained enough, then "we are going to have to sit down and have a more serious conversation and look at supplementing"  I love my doctor for that reason. He says "ok there's a problem, but I don't want you to stop breastfeeding" he really tries to find different ways to help before taking the easy way out. So Tuesday we started him on rice cereal and he loves it now after the third day! the biggest problem is keeping his hands away from the spoon! If it were the handle I wouldn't have a problem, but he keeps flipping the food off his spoon so it ends up on his eye or forehead and hand instead of his mouth. but he finished off the amount I gave him today so that's awesome! I think on saturday I'm going to try and give him actual food!! so any say on what I should start him off with? I'm thinking banana :) I wish they had mashed oranges though! he's having a fun time in his bath FINALLY because forever there he just cried, now we take our time and just play around in the water. it's so awesome! I love this little guy! he's just so fun and so sweet and I promise I should just take a tour of all the hospitals in the world because his giggle could cure any disease! ahh I just melt! It's hilarious because he may giggle if you tickle or play with him, but the second I cry He just full blown starts laughing at me which makes my crying into  tears of laughter. He's such a blessing and I'm so glad I have him!!!
