Help!

Yikes! I'm being attacked by a crazy butterfly!

Just kidding. I still love to play with my little dragonfly, but this big butterfly is pretty cool too! I like to chew on its wings. Thanks Godmommy.

Rice cereal is awesome!!!

Have you tried it? I can't believe there is more out there besides breastmilk and formula. I had been starting to wonder what mommy and daddy eat, since they are never using my bottles. It must be rice cereal. It is wonderful! I hope I get to eat it again.

I'm very popular

I just got back from my second road trip. This time we drove to Cleveland to see my Grandma Sally and Grandpa Ron. Abby kept me company in the back seat of the car. I had a great visit. So many people wanted to see me. I got lots of time playing with my dad and my mom's cousins. I made sure to give them lots of smiles and talking. I think they were impressed. Here is a picture of me with mom's cousin Jason and his little girl Grace. She shared her toys with me and was really good at saying my name.

Turkey Stroll

Today I competed in my first race! The Columbus Turkey Trot 2 mile walk. Mom and dad pushed me really fast. It started out fun, watching all the people in the race, but by the end my hands and nose were freezing! We didn't win a pumpkin pie, but that's ok because I couldn't eat it anyway.

St. Cole

Don't I look like an angel? This weekend I went to a party in my honor. My Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Dave, an my new Godmommy Beth and her family came to visit and play with me. I had so much fun. There was lots of food and a cake (which I wasn't allowed to eat). I got all dressed up and a nice old man put some water on my head and told me that I was destined for Sainthood. I'm feeling very grown up now. Here's another picture of me in my cool outfit.

Easy clean-up

Abby and I have an agreement. I spit up and she cleans it up! Pretty cool, huh?

Enough with the shots!!

Ouch!
Back to the doctors, and again it all started out fun. I love playing in front of the big mirror. I got weighed and measured and I'm still officially a big boy. I weighed 19 pounds, 10 ounces, which is over the 97th %tile; and I am 25.75 inches long, which is the 75-90th %tile. They also measured my head and said it is in the 95th %tile. My mom says it is because smart people have big brains. And then with no warning... bang, bang, bang, bang! Four nasty shots. Thankfully I am good at sucking my thumb now, because only my thumb and mommy holding me could make me feel better.

Four months old

Yep, I'm getting older every day. At 4 months I can sleep through the night, I can look to find mommy when I hear her voice, I can sit up with some support, I can use my hands to grab things, best of all I can smile and laugh a lot. My goal in life right now is to flip myself over, and I practice all the time. This past month I have done some really cool things, including visiting Aunt Ali and Uncle Dan, going on stroller rides in the woods, and voting for the Mayor of Columbus. Mom says that I am not too young to be a Democrat. Tomorrow I am going to the doctor for my 4 month checkup. I hope I get all A's again on my height and weight!

What's my middle name?

Rolling over

I'm working hard on rolling over. Last Sunday I accidentally flipped from my tummy to my back. I was trying really hard to watch the Brown's game, but the tv was not so easy to see, and before I knew it I was on my back! What a surprise. I haven't been able to do it again, but I know I'll get there. For now I'm practicing rocking back and forth on my belly.

I'm a morning person.

I love the morning. I like to start my day with lots of talking and fun time with mommy and daddy. After a big yummy bottle and a diaper change I am ready to play. Sometimes they don't seem as excited as I am. When I wake up really early they let me come play in their bed. I think they are hoping that I will fall back asleep, but I'm too smart to fall for that trick.

Baby its cold outside
