4 Months...

Little Mikey is 4 months old today and boy was it a fun filled day. Mommy had the day off so we started out at Portrait Innovations to get some pictures taken. This was our first time getting professional pictures done. We had an appointment at 3 months but one of those dang ear infections kept us from going. Mikey did awesome, smiled the whole time and we really got some good pictures...if fact Daddy thinks we spent too much :-) The first 3 pictures below are from this morning. Next it was off to Mommy's work to bat some eyelashes and coo at all the girls, I think we have a bit of a flirt on our hands! And it was nice to hear people say he looks like me for once...but this is mostly because they haven't met Daddy. Then we went to the mall for some lunch and finally to Mikey's 4 month appointment. Mikey weighed in at 15lbs 3oz which is in the 60th percentile...so everyone can stop calling my little boy a butterball anytime :-) And for height he was 26 1/4 inches, the 90% percentile...looks like he will be tall like Daddy too!

Our little Hawkeye!
All smiles:-)

Daycare has an activity saucer that Mikey loves so we have been thinking about buying our own. Grandma D has this walker we have been testing out in the mean time. He absolutely loves it!
Oh and it tastes good too!

On a final note, Mikey also rolled over from back to tummy this week. Now that he rolls both ways he is all over the place...time to think about baby proofing the house!

Happy New Year!

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Christmas! As usual, time is flying by and its already the 1st of the year. Mommy and Daddy had their first uneventful New Year's eve in years...yes we stayed in! Daddy brought home some Mexican food, Mikey was in bed an hour earlier than normal and we managed to keep our eyes open until 11:30. Yep we couldn't even stand it a half hour longer to ring in the New Year...I guess that's what a newborn will do to you! We do want to say congratulations to our friends Paige and Jake as they had a baby girl yesterday. Welcome Jenna Elizabeth!!!

Our first major development over the holidays...Mikey rolled over! This is me trying to capture it on camera :-)

A present just my size!
What's all the fuss about?

I've read its impossible to spoil a baby before they are 6 months old...but after all the Christmas festivities I'm second guessing that one! Here is Mikey showing off all his new stuff. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts and making Mikey's first Christmas a great one!

And last but not least, a bath with no crying. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
