Four Months Old

Alex is 4 months old now. He had a check up with the doctor today and he is growing like a weed and everything looks great! He weighs 15 pounds, 7 ounces and is 26 inches long. He got a couple more vaccinations today but since removing the bandaids hurts worse than the shots he was a big tough guy and mommy got the bandaids off ASAP! His legs are a little sore but that is to be expected.



Alex got his first taste of yellow vegetables tonight. He ate squash like it was going out of style. This little man LOVES to eat! He also loves to sit up on his own and he really likes this thing called a bumbo seat that they have in daycare. So for being a brave boy at the doctor and for eating his vegetables today mommy rewarded him with his very own bumbo. He thinks he is king of the castle sitting in his throne...

Speaking of daycare, Friday is his last day at the school that he has been attending since mommy went back to work and we just want to say thanks to the super special ladies that have taken such great care of our little man over the last 6 weeks or so. We have been on a waiting list for a REALLY long time to get into the school that he starts next week. We knew that where he has been going was only temporary when he started there but the teachers have become very special to us and they have been wonderful to Alex. We will miss them and hope they will check in on his blog occassionally and see how he is doing after he leaves.

We finally got back over to the pool yesterday and he really likes floating around in his float and kicking his feet. After the pool he had dinner and a bath and then we played in his room with his toys and read a couple of books until daddy came home. He was worn out from all the fun! Daddy found us laying on a blanket with Alex singing what we were calling the "baby blues". He wasn't crying but his little sleepy songs sounded so sad. Then in the middle of one of his songs he said "mom" just as plain as day. Well that made mommy's day absolutely perfect and once again he did it in front of all of us so we all got to share the moment together, even big brother was laying in the floor with us. Alex knows how to melt our hearts!

And oh yeah, Alex wants his big brother to know how proud we all are of him for making it through middle school and getting good grades! You rock Big Bro! Let's keep the good grades coming in high school please and show your little brother how it's done : )
