Photos, photos, everywhere!

Photos near and far. Let's use our hands and feet to count how many pics there are!
Me with Kim. We had dinner with the Kernodles recently. I love cuddling with them.

Me with Robert. I like to take naps with him in the comfy recliner.

Me with Hayley. I love my neighbors!

What are you doing to me, Ryker? What are these things and why do you insist on putting them on my face?

Oh, glasses, huh? They look sweet! Rockin' the shades in my fuzzy pjs...sounds like the start of the next great hip hop song.

I met my Great Aunt Judy for the first time. She has a good knee for bouncing on!

Most recent Mommy photo shoot. Don't I look handsome?

I could smile all day!

How many are you going to take? Hundreds? Ok, that's fine. I will look adorable in all of them for you.

Okay, maybe hundreds was a little overboard. I think that's enough, Mommy. She says she had to take this one and put it on the blog because I look kind of like Uncle E as a baby in it.

Dinner was so tasty! I am an eating machine! I am up to a half cup of this oatmeal cereal stuff each night and boy is it yummy.

We celebrated Daddy's birthday recently. Until I can sing on my own Mom made me this sign to pass along the message to him.

I got this fun snail for Christmas. I like to smile at myself in the mirror. It keeps me busy for minutes on end!

Having a rough hair day, but otherwise all is well!
The last week and a half has gone by so quickly. I have been sleeping sporadically at night. Sometimes for twelve hours, and sometimes I am up three or four times a night. I can't put my finger on it but I think it could be teeth that are troubling me. I had my third start to poke through this week and the fourth is not far behind. Mom is in awe at how early I am getting all these chompers. I am loving tummy time and rolling all over the place. I like to prop myself up on my elbows and watch what is going on around me. I am such a laid back guy most of the day.
I hope you had a good week. I will see you soon with more pictures and stories about...me!

My Two Front Teeth

My lack of sleep has been well documented so far. Then, I started sleeping for a week or so. Just when Mommy and Daddy thought the sleepless nights were behind us, I got these two front teeth and now I am not sleeping at all. They are going to come in handy someday, but for now they are only serving to keep the whole family from feeling well rested. It's just another reminder of how big I am getting and how I am doing it way too quickly!
I keep growing each day. I am so close to sitting up on my own, too. I laugh at my big brother. He cracks me up! Even when I am crying or hungry he has a way of making me smile. Mommy marvels at how I keep changing and can hardly believe that next week I'll be 5 months old. Where does the time go?

See you next week!

Firsts...

Getting so big!

My first Christmas and first New Year have passed since I last blogged. I hope yours were as happy as mine. My Christmas was great! I traveled to see Grammy & Papaw and Grandma and all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family during that time. Many of these people I had never met, so that was a real treat for me. I loved all of the bright lights that the season brought with it. I could not get enough of being constantly held and coddled. I was made for cuddling! Ryker tells me it will be even better next year when I can enjoy some of the food and run around and play, but this year was just fine by me.My parents tell me that it changed from 2010 to 2011 on Saturday night. I had no idea. See, I haven't been sleeping well since about December 22nd. I'm not teething and I don't seem to be hungry. I just wake up three or four times a night to be held. I told you I was made for cuddling. So, we stayed in this NYE and I tried to get some shut eye. I started solid food (cereal) on January 1st and have had two sleep filled nights since then. Hopefully that trend continues (for Mom's sake).
Look at me!
