Talking, talking, talking

Austin loves to talk these days.  Here's some video of him from this morning.We hit a great milestone today - Austin rolled from his back to his belly.  I just hope he can do this in his crib at daycare so he start napping on his belly there. 


When we're not talking, we love to chew on our hands.  It seems Austin constantly has his hands on his mouth and is drooling like crazy!  He loves his new Oball.  Here's video of him playing with it.

4 months!

Austin had a great 4 month checkup! He is 14 pounds, 7.5 ounces and 24.5 inches long. He is right on track with everything he is doing for his age.





We got the go ahead to try food anytime between now and his next checkup (6 months).  They recommend starting with rice cereal as most babies are able to tolerate it, and they are unlikely to have an allergy with it. Austin did not care for it at all, so we will try again in a few weeks.


                                              


The doctor and many books say that it's good to read to babies at this age.  Since Aidan needs to practice his reading over the summer, we figured it would be perfect for him to read to his little brother.  It was adorable - Austin was just starting at Aidan and really listening to him!

 We have been so pleased with Austin's daycare.  He has adjusted really well.  They made gifts for Fathers Day which was totally unexpected.  This is a magnet they made.


On our way to 1st grade!

Hard to believe the school year is over already.  Aidan is now officially a first grader!  Here are some pictures of his graduation from kindergarten. He learned so much this year and is doing great on his reading.
