Is that a TOOF ?

Julian and I where playing a fun game of tickle tickle, The one where I blow raspberries on his belly and he opens his mouth wide and cracks up... and there low and behold all alone on the top gum there is a white dot. !! David come here look quick !! is that a .... toof ? well it looks like it... Maybe that explains why he cried most of the day Saturday. I have read that usually the bottom teeth come in first but it looks like Julian wanted his first tooth on Easter to be like the bunny rabbits !

Well his first Easter came with a tooth I wonder what the Fourth of July will bring ?

Who have we become ?

Anyone that knows David and I, know that we are ....shalll we say.....Lazy.
Ohhh so many years of laying around and doing nothing. All of a sudden we spend our days in a frenzy of chores that need to get done.

I was up at 4:00am this morning washing bottles, spoons , plates, nipples etc. David was cleaning floors at midnight last night, while I ironed little outfits and bibs and blankets.

We dreaded having to get our lazy butts up to do anything around the house in the past... now we do them all and without hesitating. we do them all and don't complain... and I wondered why ? How is it that this little guy has changed us so completely ?

David commented to me the other day..."how did we ever live without him ?"

The days of picking up and going, seeing every movie on opening night, going away on a whim, drinking, ( we still have liquor but now in moderation... wow ! ), being self centered and spoiled.
ahhhh we enjoyed those days but they are long gone. We live for the Peanut now.

Yes he has us wrapped around his finger. He is so sweet. Always smiling. He rarely cries (thankfully) only gets whiny when he is hungry or sleepy. He is also very portable. Can go anywhere and loves to see people. He lays with us on the couch and watches TV with us. On some lazy Sundays, we rent movies and get into the recliner and spend hours there napping, nursing, chatting, napping, laughing and napping.

Ahhh yes life is grand.

4 Months Old !!!

Such a long wait for this precious angel to come into our lives. I hope one day he will enjoy reading about all his adventures in babyhood. I also would love to get words of wisdom and advise from friends and family to help us along this great road we are traveling on.

Yesterday was his 4 month well baby check up and he got his 4 vaccines. David and I suffered it along with him, but he was good and calmed down right away. Moments later was flashing his big smile at everyone. He weighs 16lbs, 14 ounces
almost 17 lbs ! He is getting sooo heavy !

We start on solids officially today so any advice will be greatly appreciated! (Post your comments). The kid loves food what can I say... He opened wide and chomped down on his sweet potato like an expert.

We are heading to New Jersey ! We will arrive on May 3rd. Oh you have no idea how excited I am for the family to see him.
