4 Month Update...

Sorry these pictures are a bit blurry as they were taken with my phone but I couldn't resist and had to snap a few pictures of my handsome guy! Noah had his 4 month check up today and the Dr. said Noah is a perfectly, healthy, big boy ;-)

Noah's stats are as follows: Weight - 16.6 lbs (75%) (Haley was 16.2 lbs at her 1 year checkup); Height - 25 1/2 inches (75%); Head - 17 inches (50%). I was debating on when to start him on cereal and solid foods, etc just because it's one more extra thing to do at a feeding but when I mentioned it to the Dr. she said we should skip the cereal and go straight to veggies and fruits. She said she felt like he was definitely ready for solids and he didn't need the extra calories in the cereal...LOL so we are off to start veggies and fruits! More updates and pictures to come on that soon. Before Noah was born Mimi offered to make baby food for him so that's her big task for this weekend!! When she originally signed up for this job i don't think she realized quite how big of a task this was going to be with this big boy! I think we are going to start with peas and sweet potatoes first, I'm sure he'll love them! We are also going to get the exersaucer and door jumper (Johnny Jumper) out for him as this guy loves to bounce himself! So many new things...i'm not sure i'm ready, he seems to be growing up even faster than Haley did :-( I know it may sound crazy but I love the infant baby stages (even if that means middle of the night feedings). Although I may not be ready for it Noah seems to be so we are off to new adventures for Noah!

Busy busy!

Haley just completed her 3rd session of gymnastics! This one was a little different because it was half ballet and half gymnastics. The past 2 sessions were all gymnastics. She seemed to enjoy both classes and it was a nice change up for her. We are going to take a quick break from gymnastics and ballet for the spring/summer as we are trying to get her enrolled into swim lessons and soccer!! Both Clayton and I played soccer for years and absolutely LOVED it so we wanted to sign Haley up to see if it was something she enjoyed as much as we did. Of course swimming lessons are important too since we spend so much of our summers at the pool and on the lake.















Getting in some tummy time! Noah is doing absolutely WONDERFUL! He goes for his 4 month check up this Friday so i'll post those stats soon (hopefully)!








Memories!!


Jogging buddies!! Now that it has been getting warmer out Papa and Noah have been able to enjoy several walks around the neighborhood and the nature trail together!




















I think he stole Popeye's arms....LOL! Such a sweet, happy baby! We love this guy!!


















To end my update here is a Video of Haley singing the "Speckled Frogs" song!

LOVE these guys!!!

Morning snuggle buddies!

















Doesn't this smile just melt your heart?!? He's pretty proud of his big boy PJ's!









Noah found his feet for the first time last week! It was so funny to watch this experience. It started with him noticing these two things hanging out in front of him....then he moved one foot and the look on his face was priceless! It was probably the first thing he felt he had control over. He couldn't believe those things were actually attached to him and he could move them on demand! (Ignore the pink bumbo seat I decided that I wasn't spending $30 to buy a green or blue one since babies really don't use these seats very long anyways. Noah doesn't seem to mind the pink..haha).
