4 month solids!

We had our 4 month check up, and shots :-( this week.  Zane is huge at 17lbs 3oz and is the 95% for weight and height.  Lily is more petite at 13lbs even and is in the 50% for height and 25% for weight, so she's a long one.  Babies are semi-healthy, they may have picked up yet another cold at daycare from "Wyatt"...his mom wrote that he was congested and that kids was rolling around on the floor coughing all over everyone.   yay.   Lily's a bit congested now too but doesn't seem to be in a lot of distress from it all.   
The doc said it's time to start trying solids so we began last night.  It's not so much about actually taking in the food as it is letting them know what a spoon is a what a solid texture feels like.  We made up some baby rice cereal and took video.  It was pretty funny.   They had no clue what they were supposed to do with this slop in their mouths.  I don't think they actually ingested any of it because they were wearing most of it.  Oh well, we'll keep trying :)
