Rolling from front to back

Nola rolled from front to back consistently today!

4 month check up

Well really 4 and half month check up. She weighs 14 pounds and 12 ounces (75%) and is 25 inches long (55%). I have been giving her 1 bottle a day of formula at 6:00 to give myself a break and to fill her up before bed. The Emfamil made her spit up and the Good Start Soy made her constipated. Dr Montague gave me a sample of the Similac Alimentum and she wants nothing to do with it. So trial and error until we find one that works. I plan on breast feeding until she is 6 months old.

Time for a big boy bed!

Karter moved into his new room and into a big boy bed! He came home from Nana and Joe's house today and I told him he was going to sleep in his new room (that has been set up for months now). I could tell he was a little hesitant when I told him it was time go to bed. I treated bed time as I always did. He did great even with the thunder and lighten storm going on. Here he is sleeping soundly next to baby Nola shinning through the night light next to his bed.

No more curls

Karter got a big boy haircut!

Fist belly laugh

Nola laughed out loud today for the first time! I was changing her and was kissing her naked belly and she thought that was so funny!! This is what every mother waits for from her infant!

Karter starts school

Karter had his first day of school today. It was a trial class to see how he would do with Mama dropping him off and picking him up from school... so I packed his backpack with diapers, a change of clothes a sippy cup and off we went. I spoke to him about it a couple days prior and then in the car ride there I told him what he was going to do in school today. I blindly told him there would be a kitchen to play with, lots of "cho cho s" trains, arts and crafts and went on and on... what do you know as soon as he walked in the classroom they were doing apple painting right next to the kitchen set and on the way to the table we passed the trains. Mama did good! As long as you prepare Karter and tell him all about what is going to happen he adapts very well. I got a big kiss and he told me "more paint Mama" and off I went! He goes Wed and Thurs from 9:15 to 12.

Grabbing

Nola started to grab things and I mean everything. She is an oral baby and everything go right in the mouth. I never had to worry with Karter but Nola is going to be a different story.

Sleeping beauties

Papou and Nola resting before dinner.

Way too much time on my hands

Breast feeding takes a good 30 mins so why not spend the time making your daughter look like a rock star!
