My CJ is 4 Months Old!!!!!

I have had the incredible blessing of being the mother to CJ for 4 months now. I can't believe it's been that long. He has grown sooo much from the day he first brought a smile to my face. CJ now lifts his head up when he is laying on his stomach...which eventually leads to him rolling over on his back. Check out the video...

Wow too cute I must say. The other day CJ also reached for me. I mean a real reach. Then I soon scared him with my screech of excitement. Everyday it's something new. Tomorrow he has his 4 month checkup with the Dr. I will get an official weight and length. I measured and weighed him on my own and he is 15lbs and 24 inches. Goodness my big boy!!

CJ sound asleep after a couple hours of constant attention at a BBQ.

CJ fresh outta the bath lifting that big 'ol head once again :)

Big Cory and I both agree...CJ looks like his grandad in this pic!



CJ's Big Man Dance

Just a quick clip of CJ doing his "Big Man Dance." LOL I always think he is trying to puff his chest up to look bigger when he does this. :)



Finger Tasting Good!!

CJ has this new obsession with his fingers. Smack smack...suck suck...that's all I hear nowadays lol. While feeding him, sometimes he will stop and actually put his hand in his mouth like those fingers taste better. He doesn't use a pacifier so I guess his fingers have taken the place of that. I'll let him have his little habit now but I don't want a 3 year old who constantly has his hands in his mouth..Not like his daddy used to do hahaha. To be continued :)..............

Favorite Pic of the Week (7/22/11)

CJ just finished a big meal and had to take some time to relax. He looks like such a grown man in this picture. Chillin' like his daddy :)

CJ's First Taste of Cereal

CJ is breast fed and boy he does not skip a meal. Pretty much the only time he gets mad is when he is hungry. The other day my mom suggested I try baby cereal so he could stay fuller longer. He ate about 6 lil spoonfuls till he was over it. It was just the introduction though so I'll ease him into it.

CJ is 3 months old!!

OMG! My lil man is 3 months old.. well actually now that I am writing this he will be 4 months soon. He is learning so much! He is so observant and curious. He speaks a lot more. He will grab for things and smile when something or someone entertains him. He is growing so much as well. Just yesterday I weighed him... 15lbs! OMG big Boy! :) Can't wait to see what he will show me next!

Florida Roots...and saying Goodbye to Daddy

So the Florida trip... Well I just got to say I am so blessed to have such a good child. I was extra nervous about how it would be to travel with a little one but it really wasn't that bad. Our flight to Florida was a red eye which actually worked out for the better because we didn't have to deal with the crowds and CJ slept for most of the time.  I got a little shut-eye too!

Cory's family couldn't get enough of CJ of course!! He got to meet all of his aunt's, uncles, many of his cousins, his grandparents and his great grandparents. It was quite a fun week. CJ did so good too. He was passed around all day and never got upset by anyone. He is a people person for sure! CJ also got to see his first fireworks at the family's annual 4th of July Picnic. He was so amazed. It got too smokey though and the mosquitoes were hungry so I only kept him outside for a little bit. I was so happy he finally got to meet his dad's side of the family. I hope we get to go back soon so CJ keeps that connection! We love Florida :) The only sad part of the trip was that we had to part from Daddy. He had to stay behind so he could finish his last semester of school. Tears :( CJ definitely misses him. He was extra fussy the days after we returned to Las Vegas. Every now and then his dad sends us videos so CJ can see him. When Big Cory calls I'll put him on speaker and CJ's eyes light up and get big! Hopefully we will get a visit from his dad in September!!!
