4 months old

A lot has happened since I last blogged. Most importantly...our baby boy has turned 4 months old (that was on April 11th) almost two weeks ago. Here are some really cute shots I got of him next to his teddy. He sure has passed up his teddy in height and weight I believe! On his 4 month visit he weighed 15.5 pounds and was 24" in length. Anthony was exactly the 50th percentile in his height, weight, and head measurements. 50% across the board!!! Way to go lil A...we knew you would catch up! Doc said that he looked wonderful and mentioned starting him on cereal and then in a couple weeks vegetables...WOW- it shocked me when she said that. I wasn't ready for him to grow up so fast. She said we would feed him with a spoon. That should be fun...can't wait to post those pics :) What a ham! 4 months old...look at me!!!! Another very important event that happened was on Easter Sunday. Anthony was baptized! He became our little Catholic Christain. He was so good in church too. He sleep most of the time (because we timed it just right with his bottle) then as Father poured the water over his head and announced him he opened his eyes and looked at everyone...then went back to sleep. What a good little boy. His godmother is Robby's sister (Aunt Michelle)and godfather is Robby's bestfriend (Sammy). My parents came and stayed the weekend. It was a long weekend with lots of family fun...Friday night we had a fish fry at my house...Saturday night we had a crawfish boil at Aunt Janets house...and then Sunday was the baptism. Godmother "Aunt Michi" Norma's Cupcake Cake...Yummy!!!! The Family at the baptism Grandma Cici gave Anthony some bunny ears Hangin with my two papas Our little Family Father Tom and the Godparents Sat night at the crawfish boil...Grandma Cici even got me a stuffed crawfish Grandma Cici and Grandpa My momma and me This is my Uncle Mat. He's a "fun guy" The Family over for fish Emily edited some of the bluebonnet pics...here is one that was really cute! Yes, mommy took me to see the Easter bunny Daddy is already teaching me how to drive Anthony was blessed with TONS of Easter and Baptism gifts...Thank you to all who made his weekend so perfect. We are ready for summer. Anthony got his first swimsuit, a beach towel, hat, flip flops, sunscreen, even a blow-up pool. These are memories we will never forget. There is one last thing I want you to watch. We are going to have a thumb sucker on our hands!!! I took this video on the way home from Dallas this weekend.

Ok...never mind. I tried to upload a video of Anthony sucking his thumb but it seriously took 3 hours and still had not finished uploading, so I cancelled it. I will try another time.

BLUEBONNETS

Tonight we met Emily, Terry, and Bella for pictures in the bluebonnets. We had a great time. Anthony fell asleep on the way there so we weren't sure how the event would turn out, but he did pretty good. It was so funny to see him try and sit up. We took to Bumbo to sit him in and thank God we did...cause it worked pretty good. I took a few on my camera, but Emily took the family shots and will send those to me this week sometime so I'll post them when I get them. I hope those turned out ok. She has really gotten into photography and used us as practice :) Good for us!!!




My brother gave me an awesome camera so I practiced on some close-ups.

Anthony is growing up too fast. He will be turning 4 months old this next weekend. He is sleeping through the night. We usually feed and put him down in the 9 pm hour and he doesn't wake up til 6ish in the morning. That is about 9 hours straight without waking. It is soooo nice for us to get some good sleep. He is growing out of all his 3 month clothes. We bought him 6 month nighties this weekend and they fit him. I can't believe it. You hold the 6 month clothes up in the air at the store and think "there's NO way this will fit him" but it does! Note to Grandma's...only buy 6 months clothes right now. Well, with the books I'm reading it seems like he is suppose to be batting a toys, have his head completely stable, and holding and shaking rattles. However, he is doing none of these. His head is still a little bobbly...he holds it still for a while then all of a sudden BAM, it falls forward. He does grab on and shake a rattle, but only when we make him. I guess he is just a little behind "the books", but he is learning so much. You should see him scoot around in his crib, and hold his head up high during tummy time. He also likes to look at himself in the mirror when dad is putting lotion on his back. He is just a joy to have and we are cherishing every single moment. We got a camcorder and have been filming as well. That will be fun to look back at one day and see him as an infant. He goes for his 4 month checkup and shots next week, will have his 2nd crawfish boil, and will be baptized on Easter Sunday...so we have a lot going on this week. Look for another posting next weekend.

Enjoy,
