Baby Nicholas First Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year at my sister Jodi's. She cooked a delicious meal and Wendy made some yummy pies. Next year Nicholas will be able to dig in he was just a bystander this year. The day was very special celebrating Nicholas first Thanksgiving and spending the day with family. There are so many thinks I'm thankful for a nice day to reflect on things that are important to you.

4 month check up

Nicholas did great yesterday at his 4 month check up no tears when he got his shots and so far so good no fever. He weighed 13.8 23% height 26 3/4 long 96% head circum 43 1/2 inches 82%. Doctor said he is growing great. The last two nights he has slept through the night. He has been in his big boy crib for 1 week now he loves it. He doesn't need to be swaddled anymore. My little boy is growing up so fast. He is loving solids, so far he loves apple sauce, bananas sweet potatoes, and carrots. He finally has upped his oz he is drinking 5 to 6 oz now he was drinking 4 oz. He is enjoying grabbing his toys and he loves sucking on his hands. He is now infatuated with his feet he loves to grab them and bring them to his face. He still hasn't rolled over yet he is almost there, were working on it but he hates belly time.

My little pumpkin is almost 16 weeks

I cant believe a year ago this time I was waiting, wondering if I would become a Mom. November 17th was the day I found out I was indeed pregnant. It was one of the happiest days of my life. I never thought I would be able to experience the joys of Motherhood. Now everyday I wake up loving that I'm a mom, everyday is a blessing to me, to watch him grow and smile and embrace life. My life has changed so much since that day I cant imagine life without him. These last couple of weeks Nicholas has learned how to grab and hold onto things. He has found his legs and loves to hold on to them. He is such a happy baby! Sleeping on the other had has been a challenge. Some days are better then others. I introduced Nicholas to rice cereal this past week and at first he didn't know what to make of it. Yesterday i mixed some bananas with it and he loved it. He has finally got the swallowing down. I don't want to go too crazy yet, technically I should really of waited a couple more weeks before introducing food to him but he is so hungry all the time. We are working on tummy time to help him learn to roll over but he hates it. He is still sleeping in the bassinet at this time. I really need to move him into the crib, I would probably get more sleep but its so hard. I'm thinking soon..... I have a video monitor I don't know what I'm waiting for.
