So we went to our 4 month appointment the 2nd. All is well! he is almost 14 pounds and around 24 inches. The doctor told us we can experiment with first foods if we want to. We have been giving him a little juice for his upset tummy which seems to help. We may try some peas, pears or prunes since those help too. But he doesn't really need that stuff other than for "that" reason.

We took him to the fair which was fun. Of course it decided to rain the whole time. Dang it! He actually did really well. He just sat in his stroller and watched everything going on. He didn't even sleep. Oprah was filming a segment for her show she was shooting with Martina McBride the next day so it was pretty cool to see her.

Now that he has perfected his roll, he rolls all over the place. This makes bed time even more difficult because he will roll himself into the side of the bed and get his arms and legs stuck in the slats. I think he is going to be a tummy sleeper. We still put him to bed on his back but he will eventually roll himself onto his stomach. This kind of worried me at first but i think he is mobile enough he can move his head around so he wont get himself stuck in a position he can't move or breathe. We took all the bumpers and everything out of his crib and he won't stay in his sleep form so really, we just have to let him do his thing.

He is finally getting to the point he will sleep till about 4 or 5. After we feed him and finally get him back down.....he will sleep till about 8, if we are lucky. Just depends on his mood i guess. He still isn't big on naps.

Thursday I am going to St. Louis for 4 days. Which will be amazing because i will actually get to sleep and basically not have any baby or hubby duties!!!!!!! Hopefully Mike won't pawn off Elliott too much so he can see that taking care of a baby 24/7 isn't as "easy" as he thinks it is. Ha ha!
