My First Trip To The Mall

Saturday I took my first trip to the mall. Nana, Destiny, Mommy, and I made a special trip to meet Santa Clause! I liked him, but I wouldn't smile for my pictures for anything. I loved being there though, there was so much wonderful stuff to look at. I wouldn't even let mommy eat her lunch without me right in her lap. I wanted to eat too, but I had to amuse myself by playing with the table. I also got to ride the carasoul for the first time. It is cousin Destiny's favorite thing to do at the mall. It was ok, I didn't laugh or anything, but I enjoyed it. Mommy forgot how dizy it makes you feel to go around and around while standing up. All in all it was a good day.

After the mall we stopped by mommy work so everyone could see me. Everyone says I'm looking more and more like my mommy everyday.

4 Months and Counting

I'm 4 months old!!!!
I had my well baby check-up and my 4 month shots today. I didn't cry nearly as long this time as I did for my 1st set of shots.
And the weigh in is:
17 lbs 10 oz and 26 in long
Dr. Algea said I'm in the 90th percentile in weight and length

She also gave me the OK to start trying some new foods. I love my cereal, but I'm ready for more. Next week momma's going to start me with a veggie. I really enjoy eating from my spoon, and I'm pretty good at it too!

I Can Rollie-Ollie-Over

I did it!!!!!! Yesterday I successfully rolled over from my back to my stomach; and I continued to do it all evening, and this morning too. Nana and PawPaw, and Uncle Nate where here to witness it. But, I'm afraid it is all going to snowball from here. Next thing mommy knows I'll be crawling.

I will be 4 months old on Saturday. I'm getting to be a big boy very fast. I love to pull my binky out of my mouth, look at it closely, examine it, flip it around, flip it back, and then stick it back in my mouth. I reach for and hold my toys, then put them straight in my mouth (which is of course where they go).

I have started eating some rice cereal, I eat it once a day in the evening around 5pm. I am spoon feeding really well, and eating real food excites me so much. I laugh and giggle. I like to reach for mommy's hands as she is holding the spoon and I direct the spoon right to my mouth. And when I'm not in the mood for cereal I let mommy know. I also learned I can blow air out of mouth with the onset of eating with a spoon. I like to blow a little cereal back at mommy. She doesn't think it's too funny, but she laughs any way. Nana and Grammy want to give me more interesting foods, but mommy won't let them, she says not yet, cereal first. Mommy decided to start with the cereal because I would sit there watching her eat and starring and talking, saying hey momma where's mine.

So all in all I am starting to grow up way to fast for mommy. She even got a little teary eyed last night when I rolled over because she knows it's just a hop, skip, and jump away from my first birthday to my first day of school to my first day of college. I think she knows just how quickly it is going to go, and how much she cherishes all the little things I am doing now. Like last night when Grammy got home. I must have had ants in my pants cause I just stood in Grammy's lap laughing up a storm for at least 15 minutes.

The Past Week of My Life

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. It has been a busy, not so busy week.

Well two Saturdays ago I realized that if I pull in my fat little legs and rock a little I ran roll to one side. I spent about an hour playing with my puppy dog trying my hardest to roll completely over. I would get almost there, and then my darn shoulder gets in my way. I got very upset that I couldn't get it. But I have rolled over from my stomach to my back. Mommy thought I would surely have it down by the end of last week, but not yet. Nana thinks I just need a little push in the right direction.

Well, this Saturday was a big day for me. Nana, Destiny, Aunt Krista, Brianna, Mommy and I went to the movies. I went to my first movie!!!! We saw Madagascar 2 Escape to Africa. I really enjoyed it, and didn't cry not once. I didn't sleep the entire time though. When the previews started and the sound started I jumped a little, but I found it evey entertaining. That big screen really caught my attention. Mommy was so proud of me. I was a little upset though because I couldn't have any popcorn, and gosh it smelt so good! All in all I really enjoyed being out and seeing the world. I love doing that these days.

That night mommy and I stayed the night with Aunt Krista, Uncle John, and Brianna. It was my first sleep over too! Saturday was just full of firsts for me. And Sunday morning Aunt Krista babysat me while mommy went to work. Aunt Krista really enjoyed it, she had been patiently waiting for the day she could have me without my mommy around. And mommy was so proud of me for being such a good boy for my Aunt Krista and Uncle John.

Well, that pretty much covers it. And of course I'm growing like a weed. My gums have been hurting me a little and mommy found me this really great viberating teether at Wal-Mart. It is in the shape of a strawberry, it was either that or grapes. It is my new favorite thing to put in my mouth, besides my fists that is.

My 1st Halloween

I was a skeleton for my 1st Halloween. It was a pretty uneventful day. I was in the Halloween spirit all day with my onesies and my pumpkin bib in tow. We didn't have alot of Trick or Treaters though. But my Aunt Krista, Uncle John, and cousin Brianna came by and visited for the evening.
Momma got upset cause she couldn't find me any big boy jeans at Wal-Mart, but Aunt Krista saved the day and got me some really handsome black jeans, I look just so adorable in them. Though momma's just not to sure how long my fat belly can fit into the waistband, the length is perfect though. And they are 3 to 6 months. I just have quite a belly on me, as you can see by my bath time photo.
Next year will be so much more fun though. I will be walking by then and momma plans on taking me to the Haunted Corn Maze. She thinks I will get a kick out of exploring the world around me.
Well, we hope everyone else had as good of a Halloween as we did.
