4 months old!!!















Yesterday Rhonen turned four months old, and I can't believe how fast it's gone by. It seems like yesterday when we brought him home from the hospital, cliche... I know. He is growing so fast. He loves talking (aka the screaming featured in the video), rolling over, standing, and smiling. Boy does he smile, which is a good trait to have when you're a baby. Strangers like nothing more than when the baby they are goggling at smiles back at them. His teething is better now, but he is still feeling some pressure. He sucks on his lower lip a lot. Lately he has been fascinated by his toes/feet. He will just hold onto his toes, completely content. He gets bigger each day, I think he's around 16 lbs. I'll get the exact numbers next week at his check-up. Unfortunately for me, he hasn't repeated the sleeping through the night miracle...but I am still hopeful. It's amazing how restless babies are at night. He only nurses once or twice at night but he needs to be settled every two to three hours. I'm not sure if this is normal or maybe I fuss over him too much...I don't know. I am trying to take it one day at a time. Overall he seems very happy so I think we're doing a pretty good job.

Teething Hell

Poor baby! Rho has been showing signs of teething for a few weeks now, but yesterday it went full force and he was beside himself. I have never heard him cry so hard and so much in one day. To make things worse he is coming down with something?! Who knows what it is...I just hope for his sake it gets better tomorrow. Nothing more heartbreaking than having a sick baby :(

Jump Away







































Rho has been standing really well, supported of course, for a while now so I thought he might enjoy a jumper. He isn't really doing any jumping yet... but he does like the toys! I think he is going to be a very strong little guy and quite the handful once he becomes mobile. At least we have a while to prepare for that...

He slept through the Night

He did it!!! He actually slept until 5 am before wanting to be nursed and then went back to bed until 7 am!!! I can't remember the last time I have been this happy, grateful, and proud since the day he was born. I knew he could do it...now how am I going to repeat this miracle?!
