4 Month Checkup

We took Trip for his 4 month checkup today. He is 26 inches long and weighs 17 pounds. We got in trouble for feeding him too much and for letting him swim. I guess babies aren't supposed to get in the pool until they are 6 months old. Not sure that we'll listen to that advice!

Trip rolled over from his back to his stomach this weekend. He has been rolling over from his stomach to his back for some time, and we've been waiting for this new development. He wakes himself up rolling from his stomach to his back but now he has mastered both, so Mom won't have to get up in the middle of the night to roll him back over to his stomach. (Yes, we have a stomach sleeper.) The rolling over pictures aren't great, but I posted them anyway.

Trip & His Cereal

Trip turned 16 weeks old on June 12, so we decided to give him a taste of delicious rice cereal even though we don't go for our 4 month check up until the 23rd. Well, he HATES cereal. He seems to be a bit like his mom and can't stand the texture. We're working hard on it everyday, though. What we can shove in his mouth has helped him sleep. He has slept from 7:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. everyday that he's had cereal before bed. Mom has actually slept less than before with anticipation that he's "about to wake up any minute now"!!

Trip's First Swim

Trip loves the pool. We put him in his turtle float and he kicks his legs like crazy. We at least put our feet in the pool everyday. He loves to wrap up in Mom's robe when he gets out of the pool.

Trip's First Easter March 23, 2008

We took Trip to meet his great-grandmother, Tina. Gaky bought him an Easter basket and a book, but again he could have cared less! We took pictures of him playing and yes, that is one of his little bottom. I don't know what is worse - the fact that we couldn't get his diaper on correctly or the fact that we took a picture of it.

Trip's First Snow March 6, 2008

Trip's first snow was at his first home. Colson worked so hard building Trip his first snowman. Trip could have cared less! Of course, Colson had to work in some advertising, too.

Trip's Birth February 21, 2008

I'm playing catch up by posting the pictures we took the day of Trip's birth.
