Our Little Champ

RJ is growing like a weed. We are estimating that he weighs at least 15 lbs. His next doctor's appointment isn't until the end of October, so we won't know for sure until then. He has been sleeping through the night for many weeks now. What a champ!

I have been trying to get him to try some rice cereal on a spoon, but he has been very successful at spitting it out. This week, however, he seemed to get the hang of it. Yesterday he tried sweet potatoes for the first time and wasn't impressed. Tonight was a different story. He ate both rice cereal and sweet potatoes, and dare I say, he liked them!

RJ loves interacting with Grace. He will stare at her for long periods of time and will laugh or squeal when she plays with him. My hope is that they will always be great friends. I am blessed beyond words to be the mother of these two wonderful children!

Grace-ism

Last night I went in to kiss Grace good night. She hugged and kissed me then said, "I love you.......always!" My heart melted! God I love that kid!

RJ Rolled Over

RJ rolled over by himself this afternoon! He's been trying for the last month. He kicks his feet up in the air then rolls to the side. Today he actually got all the way over, then managed to work his arm out from under him so he was flat on his belly! By the look on his face, he was pretty proud of himself!

4 Months Old (well, almost)

Sportin' my airplane shirt!

RJ discovered his thumb a few weeks ago.

RJ had his 4 month checkup on Thursday (a little early). Everything went well. He's growing just as he should. He weighed 13lbs 10oz, which is more than half what Grace weighs! He's really trying to sit up on his own, he's very vocal, he chews on everything, and he's super smiley! He has a great disposition. RJ is very interested in Grace now. He smiles and gurgles when he sees her. And...a very cool thing for Mommy...he's sleeping through the night!! Woo hoo!!

Grace-ism

We were at the pediatrician's office the other day. Grace was sitting up on the exam table and she pointed at the jar of tongue depressors saying, "Momma, are those the ahhhh sticks?"!! "Yes Gracie. Those are the ahhhh sticks." I love looking at life through the eyes of a child!

Grace and RJ were mesmerized by Yo Gabba Gabba!

Pink jumpsuit and pink boots...ever the fashionista!

I have been so busy with my two kiddos, that I haven't had much time to blog. I'm trying to get caught up before I go back to work in August. I have really enjoyed my time home with our little boy. He is such a good baby. Grace still loves her little brother and like to keep tabs on him when she wakes up in the morning or comes home from school. She is the BEST big sister ever!!

3 weeks old...sweet baby boy!

We are blessed again! RJ is a very laid back baby. He sleeps way more than Gracie ever did. He rarely cries and he's super cuddley. Bryan, Grace, and I are so in love with him!!
