Doctor's orders-Give Solids a Try!

So we went to the Dr. yesterday for Reagan's 4 month well check.  She now weighs 15 lbs 15 oz and is 25 inches long.  The doctor described Reagan as a "robust and healthy" baby.  He told us she had really nice skin color, eye shape, and that she was growing well. 

We talked to him about adding solids.  Reagan has been eating cereal at her last feeding the past few weeks.  He told us to give solids a try.  He also told us all the myths are not true.  He has been a doctor since before Chad and I were born, so he has been around a while.  He said we didn't have to try one solid for a week before introducing another.  May sound crazy, but he said if there is an allergy, we will notice right away and will know exactly what she is allergic to.  Last night, we gave Reagan carrots at dinner time.  She absolutely loved them! Here is a picture of her enjoying them.  Notice it's all over her face. :) 

This morning at breakfast, we gave her bananas.  She also liked those, but I think she wasn't as hungry this morning.  This is a new experience for her and we are loving seeing her try new things!
