Rice Cereal Milestone!! 07/14/2011

AJ had his 4 month doctor appointment today. He was a very happy giggly little boy...right up until he had his vaccination boosters. :( Here are his stats from today's visit:

Height: 27 1/2 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 16lbs 12 oz. (90th percentile)
Recommended Activities: SITTING!!!

AJ's doctor is very happy with his growth and reflexes. She said it's time we try some rice cereal. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to get home and give it to him for the first time. SUCCESS!!! We couldn't get the cereal in his mouth fast enough. He even grabbed the spoon right out of Mommy's hand and stuffed it into his mouth on his own...PIGGY!

What IS this stuff she's putting in my mouth...and why isn't she going FASTER?!

I think its ok...

Is there anymore?

Yes, of course I'm eating without pants...again. Is there any other way?

Yes...yes, I DO like this cereal.

What do you mean it's all gone? Not too messy!

Rolling Rolling Rolling...

HE DID IT!!!! And Mommy finally witnessed it. AJ is rolling all around. He rolled from his tummy to his back today...and it wasn't a fluke either. Every time you put him on his tummy, he rolls over :) Mommy and Daddy are very proud. AJ has also moved on from his pacifier to his new favorite "chew toy"...his hands!

Photo Fun with Auntie Renee!!!

While Auntie Renee spent some time with AJ, she used the opportunity to have a little baby photo shoot. Here's a sneak preview of the fun they had together.

Happy Anniversary!!

Today marks the day of our first wedding anniversary!! And what a crazy and happy year it's been. We can't believe all of the changes in our lives in just a short time...but we wouldn't have it any other way. Auntie Renee babysat AJ for us so we could celebrate together. It was his first overnight away from home. Mommy and Daddy missed him terribly....but it looks like he's having a great time with his big cousin, Ryan.

My How Time Flies!!!!

So it's been a while since I've been able to sit down and post anything. We're still adjusting to life as parents...and life as WORKING parents at that! While Mommy being back at work presents some difficulties, it's still the best and most rewarding time of our lives :)

AJ is 10 weeks and 6 days old now. He's growing SO fast. At his 8 week doctor appointment, he weighed in at 13 1/2 lbs and 24 1/4 inches long. He's our little Enfamil Piggy! He definitely knows the sounds and faces of his Mommy and Daddy and he greets them each morning with the biggest smile and cutest little squeal. I dare to say that his Mommy and Daddy are among his favorite things in life...well, besides his own reflection. Seriously, he can't get enough of himself (I think he learned that from his big cousin, Ryan, who turned 4 today!!!) This week, he's started to hold objects in his hands. So far, he loves to grab and shake his burp cloths...Mmmmmmm.

Check out some of his most adorable moments from over the last few weeks!
