Growing Big & Strong

Yesterday we went to a new Dr for Lex's 4 month check up.  We loved Dr Burgert, he was so personable and caring.  He seemed to be in tune with all that was going on with us, asked me lots of questions, and made sure that all was well at home.  Lex is 13lbs 11oz now, more than doubled his birth weight & 24in long.  The Dr gave us the go ahead for rice cereal, and was shocked and amazed at Lex's ability to eat 12oz+ at one sitting.  The next visit is at 6 months on June 15th.  I can't even imagine what he'll be doing then.  

Here are some videos from last week.  Grandma Susie came up to visit and help out around the house.  Lex loved being doted on and held all the time!  In this first video they have quite the conversation.  He just started laughing as a response this week.   Judson and I took Lex outside as soon as the weather warmed up.  Judson is ready to have a little shadow follow him around, he is already teaching him to walk and ride his tricycle!  We just can't wait for spring & summer to finally get here.  Hopefully this weekend we'll get to do some yard work.  The peonys and rose bush and pink dogwood are all starting to bud.  I am so impatient for some blooms, so i can fill the house with fresh flowers!  This week i have lots of projects.  Doing some painting touch ups around the house, and sewing a few baby gifts.  I can't wait to start crafting again.  Lex is old enough to play by himself for a while, so between that and his naps I have some free time.  We are off to start the day!
