Stroller Time

I have finally started jogging in my BOB stroller with Penn. I have to say, I LOVE my BOB. I have been using it walking in the neighborhood, but Penn is finally big enough to ride along while I jog. He seems to love it. He has been taking some great naps in it and totally relaxes.

Here's a random pic of him one night rockin' the mohawk

weekend with Reese and Gigi

Reese loves Baby Penn! She is just soooo sweet with him and truly loves him! She loves giving him toys and dancing for him, but she also likes to help burp him and give him lots of kisses!! He got so much lovin' this weekend and was totally entertained. We had so much fun this weekend with Gigi and Reese visiting (missed Aunt Jenn). We played, shopped and went swimming!

Just Chillin' with Gigi

Someone was not happy that the lifeguard took a break

4 mth stats!

Last friday was Penn's official 4 month dr's visit. Whoa! he is growing. He gained a 1/2 lb in a wk. I guess adding the rice cereal was putting on the lbs. He is 16 lb 1 oz (75th%) and 25 3/4in (75th%) and his head circumference is 16 5/8in (65th %). I think he is just perfect in size and his dr. was very happy right where he is!
We have since started him on oatmeal this week and he is just not liking it. I'm beginning to think he just doesn't like eating with a spoon just yet, because he didn't like the rice or oatmeal. He makes the cutest face and pokes out his bottom lip, like "mama just give me the bottle". I usually give in and don't make him eat too much. Next week we will start with veggies so we'll see how that goes.
Penn has been grabbing at his toys hanging over him on his play mat for awhile, but now he is starting to notice what is lying around him and is really grabbing at them. It's so cute! Still no interest in rolling, but we are continuing to work on it!
Gigi and Reese came to stay with us this weekend so they went to his dr's appt with me. Reese was so good and gave Penn kisses after his shots.

Penn's first tooth

I'm not sure exactly when it broke through but today I was playing with him and felt his gums and there it was. The cutest little thing. Now that I've thought about it, he was fussy for about 2 days yesterday and fighting the bottle and now I think it was teething. I can't believe at 4 months he has gotten his first tooth.

4 months old!!

Once again, I am such a slacker...I am staying busy with my little man and teaching boot camp at night so most evenings I crash. Speaking of my little guy, the past 4 months have gone by so fast. He is so much fun right now. I did have to take him back to the dr last week and he weighed in at 15 lb 8 oz. BIG BOY!! He is still suffering from eczema, but it seems to be getting better. He's also still on prevacid and we just starting adding rice cereal to his bottle instead of increasing his medicine. Today was also the first day we started solids with a spoon. He had rice cereal this morning and actually did really good with it. He was already familiar with the taste so it's just going to take getting used to the spoon. Here's some pics of him eating:

Ready to eat!

(sorry for the photo quality, i was feeding and taking pic at same time)

His newest trick is holding his feet. He loves to see his feet and holds his toes all the time.

Also, in the past few days he has really found his voice and talks up a storm. David and I laugh so much at how much he is talking and being vocal now. It is so cute!!
We are loving every moment with him, he smiles soooo much and it melts my heart. He is really gotten on a good schedule now and is going to sleep great. His naps vary in length, but his nightime is great!! He goes to bed now between 7:30 and 8pm and sleeps until 7pm. It is so nice to have the evenings and be able to sleep all night!!
