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...

Three Months Old!

YEA! We made it to three months!! My little man is growing up so fast, and he changes every day. What you've been up to lately...

• You are now taking six ounces at every feeding, but still eating every three hours...(except at night)
• You have found your fingers...you hold them up, stare at them, and slowly bring them to your mouth, and you are so proud of yourself when you get them.
• You have slept through the night for two nights straight....and your mommy and daddy feel like new people.
• You love your teachers at school...you smile at them every morning.
• You have started to coo at your dad and I. It brightens our day.
• You LAUGH!! It is by far the most adorable, sweetest, most precious laugh ever.
• Your favorite person other than your parents, is your grandma...no matter what mood you are in as soon as you get kisses from grandma, you laugh and smile for a while.
• You have started to cry when you can't see mommy and daddy at home...if you are in your swing, or bouncy seat you really want someone to be sitting in the living room with you..if you can't see anyone..you cry. (this makes going to bed in your own room hard)
• And on that note, you still sleep in the room with us. I love being that close to you where I can get to you quick if you need me...hopefully sometime soon we may start putting you in your own room...but for now, being with us makes me happy!!!! (haha)
• You mean more to your daddy and I than you will ever know. Our world is so much better with you in it!

...and on a funny note, the other night Little man was fighting sleep and just really restless....finally he got still and ended up like this. Typical Man...

Until next time...
