Could he be any cuter??

Oh my what a few weeks bring! These last few weeks little man has started eating vegetables (or at least attempting to), jumping in his jumperoo and so much more. When we started carrots we soon realized this would probably not be his favorite vegetable. He all but turns his head and shuts his mouth when you even come close to him with a spoon. Since the carrot experience little man has tried sweet potatoes, and green beans. Tonight I promise he would have eaten the whole container if i let him...but we stopped at half, the result from a full container of green beans may not be so pleasant! A few weeks ago we decided to put little man in his jumperoo. At first, as the picture shows, he was not very thrilled, because he would much rather be held. But he now attempts to jump and just stares at the light. He looks so big in it, kind of makes me want to hold my heart!

Could this little man be any cuter?!?! AHHH i could just eat him! His grandpa brought him back this Bass Pro Shop hat and it looks adorable on him. We put it on him, and I think he would wear it for hours, he never seems to be bothered by it. Poor guy is only 4.5 months and already wearing camo...what have i gotten myself into?!?

And last but not least, little man has now had his first ear infection. (sad face) He started out on Saturday having a runny nose, and mild fever. By Sunday he was coughing, the snotty nose got worse, a runny eye, and fever. I called the on call nurse because I wanted to know if there was something else I could give him, but my wonderful pediatrician (Parkside Pediatrics), agreed to see us at the office Sunday afternoon. He gave him some amoxicilian, and by Monday morning he was a much happier boy. I stayed at home with him Monday and realized it was much easier with a 2 month old, than a 4.5 month old. He didn't feel good so he was very clingy..(not that i minded)! The picture of him is from Sunday. Poor little guy....

Until next time...

4 months, 4 shots, and lots of pictures!

So much has happened in the last month...little man of course changes every day, laughs a lot, and started eating cereal...Fun Fun! Of course I am THAT mom that has a bib just for this first meal...too bad it only lasted for about 5 minutes before he was over it! He kept staring at the food, I am pretty sure he had no idea what to do! We started with just plain rice, and it was probably more fun for me than for him...the faces he made were priceless!

I wish you could see closer, he had it everywhere. By the way the cereal only lasted for about 2 days. Joseph got sooo constipated and it took pear juice and alot of praying for him to go. So we waited until the four month appointment to talk to the doctor about it. I couldn't stand him crying because he couldn't go...and his stomach was so hard. So next up...oatmeal!

Here is my little man's four month pics. I am trying to figure out how to put all four of them up so we can compare...but for now this is what you get. His four month stats are:

Weight: 15.0 lbs even (65%)

Height: 26 inches (74%)

He is definitely my long and lean baby!!

And here are the sad pictures....here is one leg...hold your heart! He woke up and his tylenol had run out.....and he was screaming for about 15 minutes.

And here is my babys other leg....when we took the bandaids off there were definately bruises ...guess that just means he needs more snuggle time with mama and daddy!!!

Until next time....

This phase is gonna fly by...

Oh my goodness...i love my little man! Over this past month he has grown sooo much and has also started to show his personality, which is precious. He is sleeping through the night, and we have him in a routine for bedtime which works perfectly. This week little man has started sitting in his bumbo, and he is doing really good. Only two weeks ago when he was in it, he would slump over...but now we are holding our head up, and grabbing things. This is such a fun stage...and i know i will blink and he will be doing something new. How I wish I could stop time, just for a moment.

If you can't tell I take tons of pictures...I think he's getting used to it! Here's another one...he is getting there!

This is what he does when his daddy comes home. Lately he is a daddy's boy, and watches his every move...Don't you love this smile??

Can we say twins?? I see none of me in little man, but I definitely think he has alot of his daddy in him. I love my little family, and every day gets better!

Until next time....

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th everyone. Our 4th was very uneventful, seeing as little man is now on a schedule (and it's working-6 nights of sleep!!!) we didn't want to do anything to mess it up. After a day of running errands I did bring little man home, and hand him a little American flag so we could remember his first 4th! He wasn't quite sure what to do with the flag...but he sure made a cute picture.

Another picture of little man...we had to make these quick...we were scared he was about to knock/scratch himself in the head.

And last but not least...TADA little man is sitting in his bumbo for about 10 minutes a day. This photo was taken at the end of the ten minutes so he's already given up and slouched over...but he is doing so good and has great head control. Isn't he just adorable???

By the way Joseph had to go to the doctor on Friday for a runny eye, and he weighed 13 lbs, 14 ounces...he is growing up way too fast!

Until next time...
