FOOD!!!!

we did a little taste-test with rice cereal this morning -

surprisingly successful (photos didn't so much capture that success).

4-month growth

we went in for desmond's 4-month check-up today, and here's the latest and greatest:

weight - 13 lbs 8 oz (25th percentile - moving up!!)
length - 25 1/4 inches (70th percentile)
head - 43 cm (75th percentile)

so in summary, he's long and skinny with a big head. exactly how we like him.
