August is really starting to enjoy bathtime. We received a bunch of these cute little squirty toys as a gift, so we picked out a few to start with. He loves them. In these pictures, he's holding the shamu toy and blowing raspberries. He's so silly.
Last week, we started giving August rice cereal. Here's what I captured of his first time eating "solids".We had a lot of fun and made a huge mess of ourselves. I continued giving August rice cereal once a day for about 5 days, but he started drinking less milk and sleeping poorly so I decided to put solids on hold for a little while.
I have a video to go along with the pictures, but my laptop computer is dead so I'm now using the desktop computer our friend gave us. The computer is great, but the port where I need to plug the camera into is behind the computer so I haven't been able to upload it.
Sadeke and Jen invited us to go to an Isotopes baseball game (the minor league team for the Dodgers, I think) with them a few weeks ago. Here are some pictures from our fun night.
August is finally strong enough to support himself so he gets to play with all sorts of new things. I put him in his little entertainment center and he had the best time figuring out how to make it play music.
I also whipped out his jumperoo, but so far he just sits there (no jumping yet).
August went to the doctor today. He was a trooper as usual and he only had to get two shots, so not too bad. He's sleeping now, as I'm sure he will be for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow we are going to start August on solids...I'm so excited! Just rice cereal for now. If he does ok with that, we will move to other kinds of cereals and then eventually veggies and fruits. It's gonna be fun! As much as he likes to spit...I'm sure I'll be wearing a lot of it.
Thank goodness August is not allergic to kitties, and he loves them! We have two kitties, Mister McDuggie (the black one) and The Little Guy (the white one).
I knew they would be great with the baby, Mister McDuggie especially. He loves to snuggle. He started snuggling with August before he was even born...
and continued the snuggles as soon as he came out.
Now that August can use his hands, he's been trying to pet the kitties. It's fun, except this is what his hands look like after.
August isn't exactly gentle, but Duggie doesn't seem to mind having his hair pulled out. He's such a good kitty!
I thought I was video taping them, but this is all I got.
Last night, after August had already gone to sleep, I went into the bedroom to join him and this is what I found...
I can't believe that didn't wake him up!
It was cute and it made me laugh hysterically, but as soon as I finished taking the pictures, I removed Duggie and reminded him that he is NOT allowed to sleep in the bassinet.
August is 4 months old today. He's just getting so big way too fast!
He has his 4 month check up on Thursday and will get his second round of immunizations. There is so much controversy surrounding vaccines so I've been doing some research. I know the benefits far out way the risks, but it's hard not to worry when so many people are rallying against them. I know for sure that mercury is horrible, so any shots that contain that will be avoided (although they stopped using mercury in vaccines in 2000 so it shouldn't be an issue). I just want to double check with the dr. On a brighter note, I am looking forward to seeing how much August weighs and how long he's gotten!
And here are two really cute photos...
This "seat" is in one of the bathrooms at church...haha, awesome!
Sometimes we like to prop August up in the corner of the couch so he can sit up and play. We, of course, would never leave him alone like this, and thank goodness cause he almost fell off the couch the other day...
So, it's been a few weeks, but I finally did it! Here are the pics/videos from our trip to Florida.
Dad and Kristin met us at the airport and once we got home, they finally got to hold August...
Nova couldn't keep his tongue off of August. He was so sneaky, but it was kind of sweet.
Random...just hanging outside. He loves to suck on his finger.
August got to meet his godparents, Greg & Christina. These two were great friends while we were in Orlando and we miss them a ton! They got August a "Jesus Storytime Bible" which I have loved reading to August (thanks guys!).
We also got to visit with Marsha,her kids (Landon & Reagan), and her mom. Marsha and I grew up a few houses apart, so we go way back.
Damon even held August for a few seconds...then freaked out and gave him back.
Tommy refused, so I just laid August next to him and took a picture. August's face is priceless.
And of course, August had lots of fun with nana!
No one can make August smile and make really crazy faces like my mom can...
We also got to meet up with two of my best buds from middle school/high school/college, Joy and Daniella.
Overall, it was a really great trip and we are really looking forward to going back soon!
