Happy 4 Month Birthday!

August 29th we celebrated Drake's 4 month Birthday by spending an afternoon/evening out on our deck just hanging out. It was a chilly day that day outside, so Drake got to wear his camo pants & the jacket Grandma Robin got him on one of her work trips.

He has started finding himself in the mirror. He just looks, smiles & coos at "the baby".

"Mom would you please quit pointing that thing at me!"


I can't believe he is already 4 months old!

Playing in his "jumpy"! He has moved to his favorite thing being the swing to the jumpy. Luckly he still does like his swing, but he is becoming much to busy & active.

4 Month Checkup & Tummy Time

On 8/31/09 we went for Drake's 4 month well check up. He is a healthy boy, thank the Lord! He is now weighing in at 14lbs 4oz & is 25 1/4" tall. Just incase you aren't keeping track that means he has gained 8lbs 2 oz since birth & is 6" taller! Wow, I hadn't thought about that! I did notice he was taking up most of the changing table these days. I always get his diaper & wipes out before I take off the old one & multiple times a day he kicks them off the end at some point. :) It's amazing how fast he has grown physically, mentally & emotionally! He is such a sweet boy giving out lots of hugs & kisses to Mommy & Daddy! Even though his kisses come with gobs of slobber I will take all I can get!

Grandma Roseanna got him new wrist toys & one of them is a cow of some sorts. It has a big orange nose. For whatever reason he really enjoys it! And it doesn't even have big eyes. :)

One of my new favorite pictures!


A few minutes after I took this picture he rolled from his belly to his back for the 1st time!!! YAY!!!

He was in the middle of telling me a story in this one.

I know I say it all the time, but once again I am so in love with this little guy, his is just amazing!!! And he defiantly knows how to melt Mommy's heart!

Sitting UP in the Boucy

A couple weeks ago as I was trying cereal for the 2nd time in the bouncy instead of the high chair. I put him in it & realized I didn't have a bib. I could see him all the way up the hall, it would literally be 2 seconds as I opened his drawer that he would not be in my sight. Needless to say as I walked back out of his room this is what I saw. When I left him he was leaning back in the bouncy, like he was supposed to be. Drake decided the doggies on his toes looked like much more fun then staring at the end table. :) Luckily he didn't fall on his head & I was not awarded the "bad Mommy" award.

This little guy defiantly keeps me on my toes!

Rewind to the Beginning of August

Rewind your mind to the beginning of August...
I know this is out of order, but I had to share these super cute pictures that Grandma (Dustin's Mom) took. I LOVED this little hat, I think we giggled the whole time he had it on. He was hamming it up for the camera too. Of course I am all smiles & so proud!

"I know I'm cute, what's the big deal?"
