4 Months Old!!!!!

So Mr. Channing is getting to be a big boy. He went to his 4 month appointment on Wednesday and the doctor said he is a wonderfully healthy baby boy. Channing weighs 17 lbs 9.3 oz, 26 inches long, and he is developing very well. He's up to five 8 oz bottles and three jars of food a day. We are up peas, applesauce, bananas, and squash now and he loves all of them.

We just got him his first jumper, so we are having some fun with that. He can reach the ground if he's on his tip toes, but he likes the music and colors nonetheless. He laughs so frequently now and absolutely loves the dogs. He's grabbing for stuff now, making it difficult to wear my hair down, earrings, or necklaces. He can consistently roll from his tummy to his back. He's able to roll over halfway when he's on his back, but still working on getting all the way over to his tummy. He gets to meet his daddy in 3 weeks so we are excited about that!

I'm just getting into this blogging thing, so I will make a better effort to keep everyone updated on Channing.

Channing goes bananas!

So today was Channing's first try at level 1 food. We started out with bananas and mixed them with cereal. The look on his face when he got a good taste was priceless!

He quickly got the hang of eating with a spoon and barely spit any out. It went suprisingly well for our first time. Once he got a good taste of the bananas, he got angry at mt me if I didn't give him another bite soon enough. He is such a little piglet!

Overall, we did well. He ate cereal and bananas twice today and finished off an entire jar. Next week we will try squash. More pictures soon to come!

Chann the Man

So just an update on Chann the Man. He turned 3 months old on January 18th. He's getting SO big! It seems like it was just yesterday that I was in the hospital with him. He's getting so much personality and he's starting to laugh out loud. He also grunts and snorts when he's angry at you.

He's such a little flirt too. This is his "Elvis" face. He's growing more and more each day. I just had to go buy him new clothes.....again. He's already wearing 6 month clothes, with some 9 month stuff mixed in. He's going to be a big boy.

He still likes his pacifier, but has found his fingers as well. Anytime I don't have his pacifier in, he has his fingers shoved in his mouth. I think he's starting to get his 2 bottom teeth also. I get to start him on level 1 foods later this month, so we will see how that goes.

He's starting to bring his knees up and try to scootch when he is on his tummy. He's already rolled over onto his back once, but I can't get him to do it again. He starts swim lessons in April (it's more or less a water orientation class that CJ and I can take him to), which I am super pumped about! Mr. Channing also gets to meet his daddy in March, so we can't wait for that. I guess that's all for now. I will keep everyone updated on Little Man's progress and try to post new pictures whenever I can!

Keeping you updated since 2009!

So instead of trying to send everyone emails with pictures and cute little background stories every week I decided to start a blog. Hopefully this will help everyone keep up with me and everything that's going on here. I can also keep everyone posted on Mr. Channing and the everyday happenings in his world.
