I am 19 Weeks Old!!

Saturday we tried Kaleb on Rice Cereal. As you can see from the pictures, he really enjoyed it. He was wiggling his feet and hands while making "mmm...mmmm....mmmm" sounds. He did get upset when the food wasn't coming fast enough! He has 1 tbl. of cereal for dinner. Next week we will probably start introducing veggies!!


Kaleb has been sleeping longer at night, averaging 8-9 before waking up to eat.

He enjoys his new toys from Nana and Grammy. Jakob enjoys making Kaleb laugh...and he does a lot of it. Kaleb loves to watch Daddy and smiles. He likes to sit in the "big chair" like a big boy.

I almost forgot until now (as K yells in my ear..), does he have a little temper when he doesn't like something! He has started to throw himself backwards..bang his arm against his side..and "yell".

I am 18 Weeks Old!!

Yesterday Kaleb had his 4 month Well Baby check up. He gained exactly 4 lbs, so he weight is now 19 lbs. 11 ozs. (he is almost too big for the baby scale!); and he is 25" long. Dr. C gave us the go ahead to start him on baby food because he is so big (baby food actually has less calories than breast milk)- so I figure in the next few weeks I will introduce cereal. He had 3 shots, only crying for a bit (he was fussy at night for a bit and a little too today). Next. appt. is in June.

He sleeps so good at night, each week the stretches seem to be longer (last night he slept from 9 pm until 5:30 am!).

He grabs for all of his toys and most go into his mouth. He puts his hands together like he is praying, and them too go into his mouth! he loves to be sitting up and looking around. We bought him a "Bebe Pod" seat...he sat comfortably in it, but is was tight on his legs- so we took it back.

He loves to look at everyone (he is staring at me as I type), smile, and laugh. He spits all the time too! He crinkles his nose up and even makes and Elvis like face.

4 Month Old Bebe

Here is the page I did from Wednesday...all the spots on his shirt are drool/spit stains.

Last night I had him on his belly on the couch and he scooted back about a foot and turned himself about 1/4 of the way!! He even positioned himself like he wanted to go forward to grab his toys. BIG BOY!

I am 17 Weeks Old!!

I took these pictures (along with others on our family page) this past Sunday morning while we were lounging in bed. I love black and white...my favorite pictures are the close up of his face and the one of him on his belly.

Things have been good! Kaleb loves to see what is going on. It is getting difficult for me to nurse him while I am on the computer..he always has to turn and look at the screen. He loves to watch people, especially when they act silly and say "BOO!" in his face.

I am surprised it has taken this long, but he is getting used to the camera in his face..he is starting to smile when I am ready to shoot!

Kaleb's sleep patterns are about the same, but the past week he has been waking to nurse about every 2 hours after the long 4 hour stretch.

This weekend he grabbed for one of his toys! He loves to hold on to just about anything that he can get into his chubby fingers and put it into his mouth. Which brings us to...the strong possibility that he is cutting a tooth. His bottom gum is so bumpy and there is a spot where it looks like it could be a tooth popping through, but it is hard to tell with those little calcium deposits (I think that is what they are called). He has been fussy on/off the past couple of days.

At some point this week I will post his "official" 17 week pics I took tonight.

He babbles quite a bit...the whole type I was typing this he was making sounds like "a boo phwert". It's cute.

Friday he will be months old!!
