July 4

So we were a little lonely on the 4th. Just our little fam grilled hot dogs and went to johnson city fire works. We were missing our usual activities of the Hyrum parade, cruise in, fireworks at Romney Stadium.........

We still had fun though mostly watching to see how Cohen would react to the fireworks. It was way past his bedtime, but he wasn't about to miss them. We were surprised that the loud booming didn't seem to bother him too much.

Baby Accessories

Baby accessories are at least twice maybe three times as much as they should be. For example we went to get Cohen a little jungle gym mat they look like they are worth about 20 bucks we get to babies r us 60 bucks are you kidding me! Cohen's newst toy the exersaucer was almost $90. Thanks goodness for family and gift cards. The list if baby necessities is endless. But the happy face is priceless

Solid Food.....

Cohen hasn't taken as well as we thought to the rice cereal. Our doctor told us to try the rice cereal first once he is mastered that then try oatmeal, veggies, then fruit. I think that he is ready for solids he stares at us when we eat, he sits up, and he opens his mouth for the spoon. When the cereal is actually in his mouth he makes a face and most of it comes back out! Lately we tried mixing it with pear juice and that seems to help he had a couple of good feedings, but I wonder if he is just not a fan of the cereal. I don't know whether he is getting enough down to tell how his body is handling it. If I should keep up with the rice cereal or just move on. Any moms with experience feel free to give advice :)

4 months

Our little Coey's is growing up so fast. He is actually 4 1/2 months old now. At his 4 month baby well checkup he weighed 17 lbs 10 oz. so we guessed pretty close. He is still holding strong in the 90th percentile for weight and head circumference. 25 3/4 inches long in the 75th percentile for height.

He is so much fun. He is really just a big goof. He laughs and squeals mostly at Erik. Daddy can always make him laugh.

He also can sit up! He started sitting up about a month ago! He hasn't rolled over yet. I think he might be too fat.....
