5 months old!

Sophie came to visit! And they are already stealing each other's things...Sophie stole Dave's pacifier right out of his mouth!

She came over while my mom and brother visited with us and (mostly) Dave two weekends ago. We were working, but Tony was able to play ball with the guys and mom watched Dave for me while I was watching the cottage. Awesome. Then last weekend Josh and I worked on a project in the apartment.

Big boy! Sitting up for his 5 month picture.

In other news, we have completely stopped with the rice cereal. After he ate it, he didn't poo for 3 days. No thanks. So we're just going to wait until he 6 months and start him off with veggies.

And a video

19 weeks-Check up with the doctor

Dave had his 4 month check up this week. He is 25.5 inches, 14.4 pounds, and has a 16.25 inch noggin. Percentile-wise he is of average height, skinny, and has an average-sized head. While we were there, our pediatrician told us to try rice cereal. Here are our efforts.








He went cross-eyed at the sight of real food.















And managed to take down about 1/4 of what was fed to him.

I'll take it as a win. However, we're going to give him another week before trying again-he's still doing the newborn tongue thrust.















He officially sits up for periods of about a minute or two. He goes longer if he has something to focus on. Once I find my camcorder I'll upload a video of him sitting up. Cuteness.













Dave has been a little difficult the last week. Waking up during the night-we think he's hitting a growth spurt. Also slightly cranky-probably due to teething. The doctor thought he would cut a tooth in the next two months. Long process!





I love this picture. Such genuine happiness.












Here's the video I promised...sorry it took so long!

18 weeks-First Easter

Dave on Easter Sunday.

We celebrated Dave's first Easter this weekend in Evansville. My grandma Colleen came in from Kansas and brought my cousin Sabrina with her.

We spent most of the weekend eating and hanging out.

Dave loves filet mignon! Well, he loves the idea of it. Maybe next year...

We took lots of long walks-the weather was gorgeous. And hopefully everybody got enough Dave time in to last them until our next visit.

We had a great time, and Dave showed everyone all his new tricks. Speaking of which, here is a video of Dave scooching.

17 Weeks-Four Months Old!

Sorry for the late post-we went to visit family over Easter so I'm running a little behind.

Anyway, Dave turned 4 months last week.















For comparison! He looks so different.







Dave can officially roll from both his front and his back. So he is getting very mobile! And in even bigger news, he is scooching (sp?). It is only a matter of time before the crawling begins...
