WOW...my 4 month update (that is almost 5 months!)...

Okay, so January completely got away from me... we had so much going on after the holidays between more "funks" and me going back into the office, I feel like I'm constantly playing catch-up rather than getting ahead of the game.
...Anyway, update on Coleman... he is a happy & healthy almost 5-month old! I can hardly believe it! It's going much quicker this time around than with Caleb. His 4 month check-up went well...

16lbs 9.5oz (about a half pound less than Caleb was at this age) - 75%
25.5" - 75%

He has since started cereal for breakfast & dinner. He didn't get the hang of it at first, but in the last week has really gotten the hang of it & seams to like it. We'll start veggies at lunch in the next week or two! Yummy!

He's such a happy boy... and very strong... he loves his exersaucer & jummy that hangs from the door frame. He also doesn't care for the infant seats that lean back anymore - he wants to be sitting up straight & checking everything out. And he LOVES his big brother... he just laughs everytime Caleb talks to him & enjoys just watching him run around & play.




...As for Caleb, he's such a fun little boy. He started Karate in January & has really learned a lot. He has his first belt test this week, so we'll see how that goes. It's definitely a character building experience for him, more so than just a physical activity...he learns a lot about respect, responsibility (chores at home), and self-confidence performing in front of the class, etc. Thanks to school, he's also had battles with strep & ear infections the past few months, but hopefully with spring around the corner we'll soon be done with that. He's VERY excited about the Easter bunny coming to bring him more toys! ;)
