TJ at 4 months old

TJ just had his 4 month appointment last week! He is now 26.5 inches long (93rd percentile for his age) and 15 lbs 5 oz! Yes we have a long string bean and we have no clue where his length is coming from! TJ is now in his 3-6 month clothing and all his 3 month stuff he is getting too short for him. He can fit into some 6 month clothing it is just a little big in the waist and the width.

TJ showed off for the doctor and rolled over from his stomach to his back (he really hadn't rolled over that much in the past couple months) and has been talking a lot -we just wish we could understand what he is saying because he has had a lot to say! He is a very smiley baby and has started to giggle too.

We had our "First" visit to the beach (Mukilteo) and it was a lot of fun just to people watch. We all bundled up because it was really cold outside and didn't end up staying too long.

He has found his hands and loves sticking them in his mouth! Actually he pretty much sticks everything in his mouth :D! It is a new way for him to learn about and explore his new world.

Generally at nighttime when we put him down for bed he will sleep from 830p to about 5a or 6a and will take a couple of naps throughout the day. We are so thankful for this as we know it is a gift.

TJ went to his first soccer game to watch Daddy play and got all suited up with Dad! He looks so cute in his little Adidas jersey and kicks!

TJ has not started eating solids yet but has had a "taste" of ice cream and a "nibble" of a chocolate chip cookie - pretty much he just licks his lips after that and smiles!

TJ is already 2 1/2 month old!!

"Time flies when you are having fun!" This is so true as we experience the joys of being parents.

TJ at his two month appointment was 12 lbs 6 oz and almost 24 inches long. At about 7 weeks, TJ started to smile when smiled at. We have definitely realized that TJ is a morning baby. As soon as he gets up in the morning, he is all smiles and very talkative.

He has been sleeping really well at night time, waking up around every 3 hours. We have been wrapping him up really tightly in his swaddle and that has been making a ton of difference. The first night we did that he slept 6.5 hours straight (mamma especially needed the rest that night)! He has also had a couple spans of 5 hours since then.

We have been starting to get accustomed to TJ's habits and routines...and developing patterns that we would like him to get used to as well. TJ routinely goes to bed right now at about 10:30pm...we have been slowly moving this earlier as he wasn't going to bed until 11pm. Mamma and Dadda need to get this time earlier!

My buddy now weighs 10 lbs!

TJ had his 1 month check-up on Tuesday and he is now 22.5 inches long and 10 lbs. As you can tell from the pictures he makes some of the most interesting faces...not to mention that he grunts alot too. It is a joy to have him and to be a witness to one of God's great miracles.

I just learned today that while laying on his stomach, TJ rolled over on his side...couldn't completely roll over onto his back but getting there! He is also following objects with his eyes and sometimes smiling when smiled at.

One of the nicknames that I have for him is Buddy-Roo and I'll occasionally sing to him the "My Buddy" song from the commercials for the "My Buddy" doll before it became famous as being Chucky (if you grew up in the 80's, you know what I am talking about).

Great-Grandpa Jack and Great-Grandma Anna (Sanguinet) came to visit!
