Lets Do Lunch

On Hank's daycare days (T-R) I pick him up on my lunch break and we walk over to the coffee shop on the other side of the parking lot. The staff there are all very familiar with our little routine. I buy a bagel and a drink and we sit down in the most comfortable chair available and nurse. I cover up with a blanket and no one seems to mind.

This week Hank has learned a new trick. When we sit down, we usually have a little play time if he isn't too hungry. Big smiles and kisses and all that. Well, this week he has taken to laughing, trilling and shrieking maniacally when we play. So the coffee shop regulars who were used to a quiet cooing newborn are now treated to a relatively loud bouncing baby! This doesn't last long as Hank settles down to eat after a couple minutes of this and I haven't gotten any disdainful looks just yet. It's such a nice, convenient, air conditioned little place, hopefully we won't wear out our welcome!

Food and Visitors

Hank has got a pretty firm handle on eating mush now. So far his diet includes:
1. Breastmilk
2. Rice Cereal with Breastmilk
3. Mashed Bananas
4. Mashed Sweet Potatoes

His Uncle Drew and Aunt Mandy came to visit for the weekend and got to see Hank for the first time. We had a wild time and now we're all tired and getting back into our routine.

He's a baby of many faces.

He Eats!

We took Hank to the Pediatrician's office for his 4 month check up. He's in the 75th percentile for height (daddy is very proud of this for some reason) 25th for weight, 50th for head circumference and he did not have an ear infection. W00t! His Dr. gave the go-ahead to start solids so here he is, not too sure about all this "food" business.



Here's the happy (and messy) result!

Hey you, the one with the kid(s)!

Okay, so maybe you've already found this site but I've just discovered Easy Kids Recipes. Check it out!

Poor Baby!!!

Our Hank is feelin' poorly lately. He seems to have a cold and possibly an ear infection (again!) We're going to the Pediatrician's office tonight so we should find out what's going on with him. Sad, sad baby!

LOLBABY!!!!!!!

And Then There Were Pictures

Hank and Papa at the Bellagio. Deluxe!

Fast Times

It's hard to believe that Hank is already four months old (tomorrow). He's rolling around a fair bit and gumming anything he can cram into his little mouth, including both hands!

Papa (my dad) came to visit this last weekend and enjoyed the baby very much. Papa had a great time and got to "see the sin" just like he wanted. Apparently Nana (my mom) is quite jealous. We were not fit for public consumption when she came right after Hank was born, so she mostly got to see the white walls of our apartment and her book.

We'll have vital statistics when Hank has his Dr. appointment next week.
