Mommy came up to say hello to me today during her lunch break. She started playing with my arms and singing to me. It was hilarious so I just started giggling. Then she did it some more and I giggled again. I've only ever squealed out in delight before. But, mommy was cracking me up so I couldn't help but let out some giggles. My nanny took me out for a walk today in the baby carrier. It was cold out so she put on my winter hat. I have to admit. I looked pretty adorable in my hat.

Mommy worked from home today since I was fussy from my shots and made her get up in the middle of the night. So, her and Daddy did give me cereal for the first time this morning. I just looked at them like they were crazy and got more of it on my face then in my mouth. Are these people nuts or what? Just give me my bottle!

That's all for now!

Today was the big day for my 4 month doctor appointment. Mommy and Daddy tricked me because I thought I was on my way to Uncle Adam's house because he lives right by the doctor. But, it turns out we were going to the doctor. I was such a good big boy sitting on Mommy's lap in the waiting room. Then the nurse wanted me to take off my clothes and lay on the white crinkly paper. I was doing okay until my back hit the white crinkly stuff. Oh no! I did not like that! I started screaming and my face turned into "Baby Yoda" as my mom calls it. I think the whole doctor's office heard me. Then mommy picked me up and I was better. I weighed in at a whopping 18 lbs 5 oz and I am 26 inches long. Daddy was disappointed. He was hoping I'd make 20 lbs. Silly daddy. I'm just a baby!

Then they brought me back into the room with the crinkly paper. Mommy laid me back down and I gave them attitude. I was not happy about this white paper. So, Mommy finally laid down a blanket and then laid me down and I was happy. Daddy calls me a drama queen. Whatever.

Then it came time for the yucky part of the doctor's visit. SHOTS!! Owie! Mom was worried about how I'd react. The first immunization was a liquid they made me drink. YUCKIE!! I did not like this. It made me vomit and I did not want to drink it. Then came the shots, there were three of them. The first one I just frowned at. The second one I crinkled my forehead. Then when there was a third one I screamed out. I mean come on!! How many are there! But, then Mommy picked me up and I stopped crying right away. I'm a big boy. I can take a little needle!

The doctor said I can start cereal now, but that it's more to get used to eating some different things more than anything else. The doctor said that cereal (despite popular belief) does not make babies sleep through the night better. She said the calorie difference is minimal between cereal and formula/breastmilk. Last night I slept from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. so I'm doing pretty well through the night anyway. But, I still want to try this nummy new stuff (as long as it doesn't taste like that junk they gave me today). Mommy and Daddy are going to start giving me cereal on Friday so they can both be there when I try it for the first time. Mommy has to work in the city for the next two days, so she doesn't get to see me for very long on those days. I'll make sure Mommy and Daddy put up lots of pictures of my first meal.

Well that's all the excitement from my big day. I'm healthy and growing boy. Time to get some more sleep so I can grow more.

Love, Adam

I am so fussy today. My mouth hurts. Everyone keeps saying "You must be teething." But all I know is that I want to chew on everything in sight and drool. And I like to give mean looks at people as they say "Awww you're so cute." This teething business is NOT cute. Today I was playing with cookie monster and he has a cookie in his hand. Naturally, I tried to grab it from him and shove it down my throat. Who doesn't like cookies for breakfast. Usually mommy and daddy can put me to bed and I am conked out until at least 5 a.m. Last night I would have none of it though. Call it teething, call it boredom, whatever it was I would fall asleep and then wake up whining because I was trying really hard to stay awake. Then I made mommy and daddy get up at 3 with me because I figured it was a good time to eat.

I have my doctor's appt on the 21st. I've heard a nasty rumor that I'll have to get shots. NOOOOOO! But I've also heard that I get to start eating this nummy stuff called cereal after my next appt. I don't know what that is, but I hear it's going to be messy! Oh boy! I can't wait!

This weekend my Uncle Adam is moving only 10 minutes away from me! Yeah! Someone new to "play" with. (And by "play" I mean drool on and scream at.) I also get to see Uncle Bryan and Aunt Kristin this weekend and show them all of my new tricks. It is going to be great!!!

Okay, it's my naptime. I'll try to give everyone an update on how this cereal thing goes next week.

Love,

Adam

I'm such a big boy now! I slept through the night 4 nights in a row now. Mommy woke up this morning to a crying baby, but it wasn't me. It was some whiney baby down the block that got picked up on the baby monitor. I better not let Mom start getting used to this because I might just decide to switch things up and start waking up in the middle of the night again.

Last night it was just daddy and I because Mommy had to work in the city and didn't make it home until bed time. Daddy told Mommy about the ENORMOUS mess I made in my diaper and Daddy was still in shock. As Daddy was telling Mommy the story he had spit up covering the entire front of his shirt. Mommy just laughed and told Daddy it looked like he had a hard night :-) Heeheehee. Poor Daddy. Nanny Baumann gave me a big hug and kiss this morning when she found out that I had saved my messy diaper for Daddy. Poor Daddy!

Okay back to my bottle and swing.

Love,

Adam
