Naked talking baby and grass!

Reece was in his pack and play today, naked due to a wonderful blowout, and he was talking up a storm. He's been using his hands pretty well lately, and everything goes into his mouth of course.
It was a beautiful warm day today so we decided to eat outside and let Reece play with grass for the first time. I hope he's not allergic, but I guess we'll find out. He really enjoyed grabbing and pulling the grass.
As for other things, we've stopped swaddling him to sleep lately and he seems to be doing pretty well. He's getting better at putting himself to sleep for naps and he slept through the night for the past two nights. We really hope this continues! He's still enjoying eating solid food, we'll try oatmeal next.

Grass

Rice Cereal and Sleeping!

So, we tried solid food on the day of Reece's 4 month check-up. Ten days later, he figured out how to actually eat it. He really seems to enjoy it now and we're hoping it helps him stay full longer and help him sleep longer (and hopefully through the night again!)

First Try

I think it's going into the belly!

Rolling Over!

Reece is rolling over pretty often now, but here is a video from when he first started doing it consistently. I think you can hear me nagging Tyler about something in the background, oops! Sorry honey!

My First Mother's Day!

Mommy and Reece

Sunday was my first Mother's Day! It was wonderful! Reece was in a good mood all day long, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and got outside for the first bike ride of the summer. Tyler made a wonderful meal on the grill, steaks, veggie kabobs and baked potatoes, delicious! He even brought me flowers, I'm also looking forward to a massage that's yet to be scheduled.
I absolutely love being a mom. I've learned that being a mother is something you definitely have to experience for yourself, no matter how much you hear or read. I love being with my son and watching him grow and learn. Being a mother is an amazing thing. It's something that's wonderful to share with my own mother. I love you mom!
I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful family!

4 Month Check-up

Reece had his 4 month appointment last week and he's growing just fine! He weighs 14 lbs 4 oz and is 26.5 inches tall. He's meeting all of his developmental milestones as well. We had no major concerns at this appointment other than Reece not sleeping through the night a little more often. We asked about starting solids and our pediatrician said we could but it may take a while for Reece to actually eat. She gave us some information on how we should try. She was right, he has no idea what to do with a spoon in his mouth and pushes most of the food out with his tongue. It's pretty cute and quite messy but I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually.
Our next appointment is at 6 months and I'm sure there will be tons of growth and development then too!
