Babysitter

You started at the babysitter August 15th. Daddy takes you to the babysitter (Julie) in the morning so that Mommy can go to work earlier and leave right after school to come get your pretty little self. She said you're such a great little baby. You were very exhausted the first few weeks. She said you hardly took any naps because there was so much to see. Therefore Mommy and Daddy had a very fussy baby on their hands in the evening. We started you on cereal a couple of weeks before you started at the babysitter so that you would be used to it when you started with her. You also decided to have a growth spurt after you started with Julie and now you eat 6 oz. 5 times a day and 2 cereal feedings. Yet in all the excitement of the babysitter you're still an awesome sleeper. You sleep from about 8:30 p.m. till about 7:30 a.m. (except on week days we wake you at 6:30 a.m.). You're doing such a great job with Julie and the other kids just love having you around! :)

It's been a while

It's been a while since Mommy updated your blog. Well in month two of your life you rolled from you tummy to your back. We tried video taping it but you just would never do it when we were ready. You don't do it a whole lot. In month 3 of your life you rolled from your back to your tummy but both Mom and Dad missed it. I was in the kitchen and Daddy was sitting right next to you but intently watching the TV. I came in from the kitchen and asked Daddy if he put you on your tummy? It was about another week before we actually got to witness it happen. Now sometimes at night you won't completely go to sleep and you'll flip yourself onto your back and get mad. Starting in August you loved locking your legs anytime someone held you up so I put together your exersaucer and you have been in love with it ever since. So needless to say you hardly want to spend any time on the ground. In August you also had your 4 month check-up. You weighed 11.8 lbs. and 23 3/4 in. long. You also got more shots and handled them pretty well. It was a pretty intense scream at first but after you were in Daddy's arms you shortly calmed down. Your hair is starting to get thicker. You are now wearing 3-6 month clothes at 4 months and 4 weeks old. I had to put your smaller clothes away today and was a little sad since some of them you hardly wore and they are so cute! The doctor says you're going to be a petite baby. Which after talking to Grandma Irma she said all your aunts, uncle, and Daddy were small too. You got your first cold at the beginning of September. I had it first then passed it to Daddy and he must of passed it on to you. I sure hate you feeling crummy. However, no matter what you're still a very happy go luck baby. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!!!
