December 15

On December 4th, Robby turned 4 months old!

At his 4 month appointment, he was:

 15 pounds 9 ounces (only 65th percentile now! before, he was 90th percentile)
His percentile for head size and height is in the 80s... I'll have to find those stats again. Anyway, he continues to grow, but it looks like he's been stretching out a bit. He appears to have lost a bit of that froggy belly.

Wow... I keep thinking he should still be a newborn... but he definitely is not! It is amazing how much he has changed even just in the past couple weeks!

On December 5, I put Robby on his belly for some tummy time.  He looked so cute like he was posing for a picture. I walked out of the room for like 30 seconds, thinking I should grab my camera, and when I looked back he was on his back! That was his first time rolling over and I missed it. :(

Over the next week or so he did it a couple more times, but each time... I missed it. Steve did see it a couple times. Then, today (December 16th) he rolled from his back to his belly! Now he keeps doing that over and over. Every time I set him down he flips over onto his belly! So I have finally seen him roll. He still doesn't  go from belly to back very often. But, he is getting quite good at the other way! My little boy is becoming mobile!

I walked in the front room and found Steve exercising. 

He is so innovative in his methods of getting a work out. 

I love it.

And so did Robby....

Thanksgiving: Continued...

Hooray for good friends. It was fun to get together with the Felts and the Hansens again for Thanksgiving.

However, for some reason it just didn't feel like Thanksgiving...

Was it because I did a lot of the cooking?

Or perhaps because there wasn't any snow on the ground yet?

Maybe it's because I didn't put a fancy table cloth on the table...

Actually, I think the main reason was because we weren't with our families.

I know we weren't with them last year for Thanksgiving either, but somehow last year felt more like Thanksgiving. I think the fact that the Felts hosted it last year and Keriann's mom was in town somehow made it feel more normal...something about having that motherly figure there.

Anyway, I really did enjoy spending time with our friends. And we had plenty of tasty food.

I am thankful for good friends out here in Toledo. They are like our little family our here.

Even the little boys seemed to enjoy themselves.

It is fun to see James and Robby start to "interact" more. James wants to crawl on Robby and play with him. For now Robby can't do much more than smile and laugh and maybe grab James' shirt. But, he is getting more and more interactive each day.

He has started using his hands a lot more and wants everything in his mouth! Steve likes covering his finger with a burp cloth and letting Robby chew on it.
