Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Saturday Morning

I think I like this Mickey Mouse Character

On May 28, 2009 I found out I was pregnant and now our little boy is already 4 months old. Wow, where does the time go? Brady had his 4 month check up yesterday and everything looked good. He now weighs 15 lbs 5 oz, and is 25.75 inches long, with a head circumference of 17.5 inches. (His weight is in the 60th percentile, height 78th percentile, and head circumference is in the 94th percentile). He had to have 2 more shots and a liquid vaccine. He did very well with all of them.

The doctor gave us the okay to try some cereal and veggies anytime now. So we went ahead and got some Gerber Rice Cereal and tried it today. He tried to eat it, but he kept pushing it out of his mouth with his tongue, which is to be expected. Hopefully with some practice he will get better. Once he gets the hang of eating with the spoon we will move on to the orange vegetables like sweet potatoes and squash.

It is just amazing to see all of the changes that a baby goes through in 4 short months. He is such a happy little guy especially in the mornings when he gets up. He seems to enjoy watching tv, I put on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse this morning and he really seemed to enjoy it. He also loves for you to sing to him, he always looks up at me and smiles. I know he is secretly thinking how bad of a singer his mommy is! haha! He also loves for you to talk to him and he will even babble back. He can roll over now from his tummy to his back and from his back to his tummy. His new favorite toy is his Jumper, he is working on figuring out the little toys that are attached to it. He also is starting to follow you with his head if you move from one location to another.

Brady is officially sleeping in his crib. He is doing better then we had imagined. We put him down around 8:30 and he usually sleeps between 8-9 hours straight. We are so proud of him. When he wakes up I bring him in the bed and nurse him and we have cuddle time. I think he was definitely ready to be in his on bed.
