4 Months Old

Brian is 4 months old today! I know all parents say this, but the time really has gone by so fast!! We are truly enjoying every single day with our little guy! The past month has been full of new joys, new experiences, and lots of "firsts"!

Brian rolled over from his stomach to his back just last week! He really doesn't like "tummy time" but momma makes him do it anyway and last week, he just rolled on over to his back! He has also really started pushing himself on his back with his feet - he is never in the same spot in the mornings as when we put him to sleep! He has some really strong little legs and LOVES to stand up - we can't get him to sit up when we hold his hands and pull him up - he goes straight to his feet!

Momma also saw the first signs of little teeth this month! 2 little white teeth just below his bottom gums! No wonder he's drooling so much! And his hands or momma's fingers are ALWAYS in his mouth! Brian can't quite figure out which fingers he likes the most (or which hand) - some days it's only 2 fingers, some days it's 3 or 4, and some days it is his whole fist! But we don't think he is at all interested in his thumb because it never goes in his mouth unless he's trying to cram his whole fist in his mouth!!

We did have our first round of antibiotic eye drops for pink eye this month! Thankfully Momma and Daddy neither one caught it! And we have to brag on our amazing child - No screaming and crying while putting the drops in!! He let us put 2 drops in each eye 4 times a day for 5 days with only a little blinking and rubbing of his eyes!!! HE IS SUCH A GOOD BABY!!!!

We are so blessed that God has given us Brian! The past 4 months have been so much fun to learn and grow with him!!

Papa G got me a bear that says "Papa G" on his bowtie!

This grass feels funny! But I love to stand up!

Everything is already starting to go in my mouth!


Thanks for the Bumbo chair Bridget!

Memorial Day Weekend

My first trip to Mimi's beach house down in Cherry Grove, SC!!! We went with Grammy and Poppy for Memorial Day weekend and had so much fun! I loved having my feet in the sand and I even got in the water!! (there were some tidal pools that the sun had heated up, so momma said it was okay for me to get in!! She wouldn't let daddy take me in the ocean with all the waves, though, it was way too cold!)

Ooohhh sand!

Look at Me!

It feels like bath water!

Me and my big boy swim trunks!


Where did my feet go?!?

Surprise!

Papa G and Nana K came to visit the weekend after Mother's Day! We had so much fun with them. We even to a trip to Elkin, NC to surprise the great-grandparents! Nana K's parents and Papa G's parents knew Momma and Daddy were bringing Brian to see them, but they didn't know Nana and Papa were with them, too!



Brian also got to meet his second cousins - Kileigh and Rylan - they were born in April and May! Great-Grandma Velma and Great-Grandpa Leo became Great Grandparents 3 times in 4 months!!! Now that's exciting!!!

Mother's Day

Mommy had her very first Mother's Day!!! We were at Grammy and Poppy's house and Daddy, Poppy, Aunt Beth, and Uncle Brian cooked Breakfast and Lunch for everyone! And I gave Mommy the cutest card!! (Daddy helped me pick it out and sign it! Thanks Daddy!)

First Trip to the Beach

Mommy and Aunt Lisa took me, Caroline, and James to the beach for the day!!! Caroline and James had a lot of fun playing in the sand and the water! I slept most of the day, but it was a lot of fun!

3 months old

Brian is already 3 Months Old!!! Mommy can't believe she was in labor only 3 months ago! The time is going by so fast and we know it will just continue to get faster and faster. Brian is changing and growing every day. He is holding his head up REALLY well and loves to smile at everyone! He is starting to like Tummy Time more, but he would much rather be on his back looking at his toys, or better still, in someone's arms facing outward so he can see everything that's happening! Brian still loves his swing and his bouncy seat! He is definitely a mover - already going to sleep on one side of his bed and waking up in a totally different position (but not rolling over yet...still a little young!).

Enjoy our pictures!

Bright Eyes!!

So Big!
