4 Months!

Gabby turned 4 months old on Tuesday, August 25th! She has changed so much over the past month. Some major milestones are rolling...we mastered rolling over last month and now we just ROLL. We roll across the room to get a toy, we roll in circles for fun...we love to roll. Gabby has also started rolling over in her crib at night and therefore sleeping on her stomach. This is a bit scary for mom and dad, but it's what she prefers so we're getting better with it. There were many "peeks" at night to make sure we could see her breathing, it was like she was a newborn all over again!

















Last week Gabby tried Rice Cereal for the first time....and, she definietely didn't hesitate showing us her dis-like for the taste of it! We tried oatmeal the next night and that went over much better. At her 4 month check-up, we were given the A-ok to start her on solid foods - so this week she has been eating her first food - pears. So far, so good. She was very quick to catch onto the spoon concept and is now squealing for more in between each bite!!























Darcy was able to come visit for 3 weeks this past month. It was very nice to have her here and fun for her to be able to spend some quality time with Gabby. It was sad to see her leave, but her and Jeff will be back in October for Ryker's 1st Birthday!

Lazy Summer Nights...

Lazy summer nights are becoming a tradition around this house...now that Gabby is on a schedule and in a good routine with going to Robyn's it's a little easier to "relax" at night.

Gabby will be 4 months old on Tuesday and will go see Dr. White next Friday. Daddy still isn't sure he can come - not because he's busy - but rather because he doesn't think he can handle seeing Gabby get her immunization shots. So, it looks like mom will be flying solo, once again! That's o.k. - I can be tough for both of us. She did fine with the shots at her 3 month check-up, so I dont anticipate any big disaster..knock on wood!

Here are some pictures from "story time" tonight.




















Here is a picture of Gabby and Ryker....she's already mastered "the look"....

SO Funny!

We finally caught a laugh on camera! At some points she cant decide whether to laugh or cry...and you'll see she's an EXPERT at the "bottom lip" pout! Enjoy!
