4 month checkup (and shots)

Zoe had another check up today which meant another round of shots =( ... She pushed through it though like a big girl ... she cried only a little bit and got over it shortly after. Happy to report she has no fever from the shots (whooohooooo!) and the doctor said she was developing very well. I always get slightly nervous at the doctor's office for some reason. I know she's a healthy girl but there's always that slight chance that they will find something wrong with her. Fortunately, our doctor does a great job in making us feel like we're doing a great job as mom and dad. Dr. Rivera said he doesn't think teeth are coming for quite some time (although I have a suspicion one will come out soon) and he gave us the ok to start experimenting with solids =). He said we don't have to start with rice cereal, but it is what most people traditionally start with since it's safe and tasteless and is a good foundation builder for other yummier foods. He said we could feed her virtually whatever we want -- as long as we wait at least 3 days in between new foods so we could see if she's allergic to anything (hopefully she isn't allergic to anything -- just like mommy). I'm excited to make some homemade baby food as well =)!
