I like carrots!

After my doctor's appointment last week, Mommy finally started giving me real baby food! I tried carrots first. They kind of turn my cheeeks orange, but I look cute when I'm eating. I've also tried green beans, but we don't have any pictures of that yet. I'm sure we'll add those soon!

By the way...at my doctor's appointment, we found out that I now weigh 13 pounds, 5 ounces, and I'm 25 1/2 inches long. I'm getting so big!!!

I'm Four Months Old Today!!!

Today is my four-month birthday, and to celebrate, Mommy and Daddy got out my Johnny Jump Up toy. It's a cool thing that hangs from a door way and allows me to exercise my legs. I didn't know quite what to think of it, but my big brother Jhordan and my big sister Alexa helped me try to figure it out. I thought it was pretty fun, but it wore me out. I had to take a nap right afterward!

Last week, Mommy started feeding me rice cereal at night. I actually think it's pretty yummy! Mommy doesn't love giving it to me, though. I get really messy and always need a bath afterward!

My four-month check up will be this week. Mommy is excited to see how much I weigh now, and to find out when she gets to start giving me other kinds of baby food. This is an exciting time in my life. It's like I get to experience something new and cool every day!

Movin' and groovin'!

Ever since the first time I rolled over, I've realized how much I love moving around! Mommy used to lay me on the floor on one of my baby blankets, but I've started scooting myself around so much that I get off of it and onto the carpet. Now, she's started putting me on a big fluffy blanket that she got from Uncle Will for Christmas. I LOVE this blanket!!! It has lots of room for me to roll around and scoot around on. Plus, it's super-soft! Here are some pictures of me hanging out on it.

Mommy really wishes I would smile for pictures. I really do have a great smile, and I wear it almost all the time! Unfortunately, her silly camera makes this flashy thing before it takes the picture, and I always stop smiling right before it takes!
Here's a picture of me playing with Molly Moo Cow. She's one of my favorite friends. She makes a very loud rattle-y noise, and I'm very impressed with how noisy I can be when I play with her.

One of my favorite things to do is to listen to my big brother Jhordan sing to me. Sometimes, I like to groove along to his tunes and dance in my bouncy seat.

What a difference!

Wow! What a difference a few months make. Mommy was looking at some pictures of what I looked like when I was first born compared to now, and she was amazed by how much I've grown and changed in such a short time. Here are some comparisons of then and now:


My bouncy seat used to just be an easy place for me to hang out and relax. Now it's a fun zone!


I was soooo tiny the first time Mommy put me in my swing! Now, I'm so big that I don't need my headrest anymore!

I used to only take up about half of my basinette. Now my head touches the tippy-top, and my feet go to the very end. (That's why I've moved to my big girl crib!!!)

My first bath was a horrible experience, for me and Mommy and Daddy. I HATED it and screamed the whole time! Now, I hang out in the water and splish-splash while I'm getting clean. It's a lot of fun now!

Mommy is so happy that I'm growing and changing, but she's a little sad that it's going by so quickly!
