What are you feeding that kid??!!???

That seems to be the question I get when I tell people that my 4 month old son is 17 lbs!!! Yes, that is right 17 lbs and 27 inches long according to his Dr. Apt this past Wednesday. The Doctor says he looks great and very healthy (duh?) and that we have the "go ahead" to start solid foods. I am going to start the adventure of making my own baby food this weekend, and Saturday morning we are going to see how Mr Thayne likes pears! I am sure he will gobble them up like everything else so I will make sure to video tape the event and post it as soon as possible. Thayne is also starting to cut teeth which seems to make him sleep a lot and scream at the top of his lungs for hours at a time. I feel so bad bc there is not much I can do for him so we both just hope this passes very soon!

The picture below is our 4 month old in the 12 month PJ's that Grandma DeHart bought him while she was out on her visit. We thought for sure we got them big enough...but...apparently they are just the right size. He is sooo cute in them and looks so grown up it makes me and Brian laugh. Enjoy!

Four Months Old

Our little boy will be four months old on Tuesday the 22nd, and that makes me a little sad. I am amazed at how much he has changed in the last four months, not to mention how big he is! No matter how hard things get Thayne always seems to melt my heart with a smirk or giggle...it has been so fun watching him explore the world. Brian and I are in awe each day watching him roll over, sit up, reach for his toys, and chatter chatter chatter! Every day brings a new surprise, lately it has been in the mornings because we never know how we will find him-sideways, on his belly, under his blanket!!! Thayne has also started to notice that he lives with an 80lb bulldog which has been really funny. Tonka will walk by and Thayne will follow him around, he has even started to reach out and pet him. Tonka tolerates it very well, part of me thinks Tonka cant wait until Thayne is big enough to play with him! For the most part we have a perfect baby; he sleeps all through the night and much to his mother's delight follows his schedule to a "T". Recently he has decided he wants to do away with one of his feedings so we have progressed to a more normal feedings schedule (breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, etc). We get compliments on how happy Thayne is all the time, but Brian and I have decided that since Thayne is such a good kid that it means the next one is going to be hell on wheels! We go to the Dr. on Tuesday for his four month check up so I will post an update with his weight-I am betting we are close to 20lb (seriously this kid likes to eat). I wont be surprised if the Pediatrician starts him on solid foods because I dont see this liquid diet sustaining him much longer-which means I get to start making all his food which I am really excited about tackling! I have put together some of my favorite pictures that were taken recently to share with everyone-Thayne has such character and it shows on all his faces...so we hope you enjoy them and get a little laugh out of them as well!

Family Photos

We had our first family photos taken when Thayne was 5 weeks old...he was such a trooper because it was a very hot day in the park. Fall pictures are going to follow soon so I will post those as soon as they are done.

Gene Ho Photography

Nadean was able to produce wonderful pictures again for our family back in May (obviously before Thayne was born). I am a little behind in getting this posted but I wanted to make sure we shared them all with you. For those of you who do not know Nadean-she was our wedding photographer and has since become a great and wonderful friend. Brian and I have adopted her as our official life photographer because she seems to capture the most amazing photos...so any one in need of photos any where in the World (seriously she goes anyway!) let me know I will loan her out!!!
