Real Food!

This past weekend, we started Thomas on cereal! We started with just a small amount on the first couple of days. The doc, and others, told us to expect a lot more on the bib than in his mouth. Not the case with our hungry boy...he ate it up! So far it's going well and after a while on cereal we'll get started on vegetables and fruits. This is going too fast!

The first NC State home football game was last weekend. Shawn and I went without the little guy this time. The game was a little too close to bedtime. We had some brave friends bring their little girl to the game and it sounds like it went well...we're not so brave. :) The game was pretty good, we won, at least. We're hoping to get Thomas to a game or two this year if the weather and the timing works out.

We also had Thomas' 4-month pictures made today, which are really cute. He has done a good job every time he's had his pictures made. The ladies there always laugh because we all have to work so hard to get a smile out of him. My mom came with us for pictures so that was fun for everyone, especially Thomas who got lots of love and hugs at lunch. :) Other than that, we're just having a good week and looking forward to another good weekend.

4-month Checkup

Thomas had his 4-month checkup today. He is a healthy baby with a big head! The stats are as follows: 16 lbs, 6.5 ozs (80%), 26.5 in (95%) & a head circumfrence of 45.25 cm (>97%)...in other words, his head size is off the charts! He's apparently going to be a super smart boy. He had 4 shots today and did very well. He screamed when he got the shots but once I picked him up he was pretty quiet and fell asleep before we left the office.
In other news... yesterday, we noticed that he had cut his first tooth! It's on the bottom and it's just poking through his gums. It doesn't seem to be bothering him much although he's drooling like a champ and biting anything he can get in his mouth. So, our little boy will no longer have a toothless grin. It makes him seem so much older to me....

We were able to go visit Thomas' Aunt Whitney at her school this week. We had lunch and walked around campus. What a beautiful campus it is! Here are some pics from the outing...
