Monkey Business

Bobby's Aunt Kelsey & Uncle Mike got him an adorable stuffed monkey that we have placed in his crib. This morning when he woke up he was cuddling it and trying to chew it's arm off...

Can't help but post the best monkey quote from SNL...."Vould you like to touch my monkey? Touch him! Love him! Liebe meine abst-monkey.....Now is the time on Sprockets vhen ve dance!"

Do I have something on my face?

Everyone has a picture of their child eating rice cereal for the first time... here's ours! When Reggie walks by, Bobby loses all focus on eating -- he'd rather laugh at dad and spit out half of every bite! But alas, we make it through and everything on the chin and bib eventually finds its way into Bobby's mouth.

Chillin' in my favorite chair w/ my Irish gear. Thanks, Harris, for the awesome jersey!

Hey, look, I finally found my thumb!!

All dressed up for my cousin Gary's wedding..

Bobby can't wait to drive the big boy tractor one day!

4 Month Check-up

Bobby went for his 4 month check-up today. Here are his stats:

- 16 lbs, 9 oz (about 85th percentile)
- 26 inches long (90th percentile)
- Head is 17 3/4 inches (97th percentile!)

He got another round of shots and did even better than last time. He only cried during the first shot and calmed down right away. I sent him to daycare with some Tylenol just in case he gets a fever or is fussy from his shots. But so far he's been a trooper!

The latest development in Bobby's life is that he can now roll from belly-to-back as well as back-to-belly. We're working on getting him more comfortable on his belly because once he lays down to go to bed, he rolls himself over within a couple of hours... and I'm sure we all know what happens next.... the end result a very sleepy mom and dad! However, if the last 4 months have taught us anything it is that Bobby goes through many phases, and hopefully this one will pass soon!

Next milestone is solid food. His pediatrician told us today that we can start introducing rice cereal whenever we want. Reggie is out of town for work today, but as soon as he gets home tomorrow, we'll try it and see how he does! Not many pictures lately, but here are a couple.

Bobby's Baptism

Bobby was baptized on Sunday, October 5th. We were lucky enough to have my brother Steve and his wife Tessa in town to attend since they are Bobby's godparents. Bobby did extremely well at the baptism and may have even enjoyed the water being poured over his head. In fact, Bobby was so "relaxed" during the event that he allowed himself to pass some gas when we put his head down over the water. Atta boy! Here are some pictures from the day.
