look at me go

It was so nice to spend the morning outside! Nathan has his first ride on the swing. Tomorrow we have another park day, could life get any better?

first bites

Cereal round one went better than I though it would! He seemed to get then hang of opening his mouth for more very quickly. As far as helping with the spit-up that has yet to been seen. I think there are going to be more baths in Nate's future...this was a very messy activity.

I'll just eat my yummy bib

4 month re-check

Nathan's weight is up to 12 pounds, 11.5 ounces, he is still only in the 10th percentile. I also got the go ahead to start cereal. I'm not sure if I'm ready for him to start cereal, it's just one more thing to deal with. The cereal should help with the spitting up in theory. The little guy had to have two shots today, he handled them very well.

Andi's 3rd birthday party

Today was Andi's 3rd birthday party at Farmington Gymnastics. I have heard great things about this place and now I know why. Jake had a blast playing with all his buddies from school.

getting ready

I can't believe Nathan is about ready to start solid foods. David put together his new high chair last night. Jake's was too gross to save and I hated it. Nathan can't have all hand me downs! He was very happy to sit in his chair and test it out. For now Nathan is very happy eating his fingers.

zoo

We met up with some friends at the zoo this morning. Jake loves animals; he loves them so much he wanted to pet and hug them all! He did not understand that he could only look. All I can say is I'm very glad I had the double stroller.

matzah factory

Jake learned how to make his very own matzah. He was very happy to make his own yummy snack.

at the park

It was so nice to be able to go to the park, Jake had a huge smile on his face all morning. He had such a great time playing with his friends. I can't wait for the warmer weather to finally be here?

more fun at 4 months

a few more pictures from yesterday...

finally

I was finally able to capture a few cute pictures of Jake... He has been such a happy almost three year old lately. He is just loving the weather and being able to be outside.

official 4 month post

Where to start, this has been a month of changes. Nathan seems to be changing and more interactive each day. He is a very social little guy and loves to show off his tooth less grin. He continues to be very mellow and happy but now that he is so much more alert he seems to be fitting sleep a little. He has not been sleeping as well but I think that has to do with the teething and some tummy issues. He did not have his 4 months immunizations yet because something is going on with his tummy. He does not seem to tolerate my milk well if I have dairy in my diet. So I have cut out most dairy, luckily I am not a dairy person. He is on medicine but it does not seem to be helping that much. We tried supplement with soy formula and noticed no difference. Lactose free formula is our next step. I have to call the his doctor back on Monday and go from there. He dropped from the 25th percentile to the 10th so we need to figure out what is going on.

His fingers are still his favorite toy and Sophie the giraffe is second. He loves to watch tv with Jake, I'm aware that's not such a great thing.

I went a little crazy taking pictures:)

look-a-like?

Nathan and Jake both at 4 months. Some days I think they look alike others not so much. What do you think?
