Grandpa and Grandma Visit!

Grandpa and Grandma came down to see me today.  I’m still a little fussy from my teething, but I enjoyed my night out.  We played for a while…

Then we went to dinner where  I met a lot of Nebraska fans.  I told them to enjoy Virginia, but Go Hokies!  Later, we went to the high school football game.  I liked seeing some of mom and dad’s friends and riding in my stroller.  We didn’t leave until the third quarter, I’m such a big man! 🙂

18 Weeks!

I took a day off from my teething to spend my 18th week birthday playing with mom and dad.  Mom and Dad bought me a lot of new books that I greatly enjoyed, but I still give the best reactions to Green Eggs and Ham.

My social calendar is continuing to stay full.  Granny and Grandpa are coming down to see me on Saturday, and I’ll skype with you this weekend Becky!  I can’t wait!

Four Months!!!!

Wow wow wow wow!  Mom and Dad just can’t believe what a big man I am!

Mal and Pap came down to visit me for my four month birthday!  I was happy to see them!  Happy Grandparents Day to Granny, Grandpa, and Grandma!!

Pap was helping me “walk” today and do all kinds of things.  I also spent part of the day practicing rolling over.  But mostly, I was just a fuss because of this teething.  Mom and Dad have tried a lot to help me, but I guess I’m just going to be hurting for a while.

I did try my sippy cup for the first time today!  I liked it a lot, even though I still need some more practice. 

I’m sure the next four months will bring even more changes!

 

Three Amigos

I got to see my friends Isaac and Camden last night.  Even though I’m still a little cranky from this probable teething we had a good time.

Isaac was a comfort to me, so I thought I would lean on him.  He spent a lot of the evening creeping toward me, he’ll definitley be motoring around soon.

I hope I see my friends again soon!  We are all so cute, we’re going to be trouble for our moms for sure! 🙂

Foot Fetish

I’ve been practicing my sitting more!  Here are some pictures of me putting my arms out to the side when I start to slip, I’m getting some of those older baby reflexes!

I’ve also been trying to roll from my back to my stomach.  I conquered the other direction a long time ago, seems it will still be a couple weeks on this direction.

But mostly I’ve been in love with my feet!

I love my feet so much mom and dad starting reading me the Dr. Seuss classics The Foot Book and Fox in Socks.  It won’t replace my favorite book, Green Eggs and Ham, but I sure have a great time reading with them.

The Debate Is Settled…

Friends and family have long discussed who I look more like.  It is pretty even between mom and dad, most everyone says they can see both in me.  But, Mal sent a picture that settled the debate.

That’s mom when she was about my age.  I think you can say I’m definitely my mother’s son!

Sitting Won’t Be Long

Now that I have found my feet I’ve gotten pretty good at ring sitting.  Awesome Aunt Becky told Mom and Dad all about how to make me practice.  First I started the day with some cereal.

Anticipating my next bite…

Then I had to change into my Hokie attire (even though we lost it was as mom expected, terrible offensive line courtsey of our terrible offensive coordinator…I’m only 3 months and I could call a better game!)

Here are my first attempts at ring sitting

After we talked to Becky she said we could take the pillow away, so we did.  I seemed to get stronger as the day went on.

We’re hoping another month and I’ll be sitting all by myself.  Then the baby-proofing begins!

More Cereal and FEET!

I’m really starting to like my cereal.  Mom and Dad are feeding me such a small amount, I’m going to show them soon that I’m ready for more!  I’ve also found my feet and they have become my favorite play thing, though not in these pictures, I almost have them in my mouth! 

Later, I’m going to dress up in my favorite hokie attire while Mom and Dad cheer on the Hokies after I go to bed.

16 Weeks!

Holy moly!  16 weeks!  This week has brought more changes like cereal, splashing in the bath, and finding our feet!  Enjoy more cereal and playing pictures!

Big Boy Cereal!

Well since Canton has doubled his birth weight and it holding his head so well he has taken the next big step:  cereal!  We started with just a teaspoon, he’ll move to thicker fare soon enough!

Here’s the first bite

 He definitely noticed the different texture and spoon, hence the bad faces…
