Fun times at the pool

A few weeks ago we took Jonathan to the pool for the first time. (Yes, I'm quite slow at getting pictures up on here!) We wondered how he would like it and he did great! I think he was confused most of the time, but he didn't cry or get upset, so that clearly means he loves it! :) He got in a baby pool at my parents' house this past weekend but we haven't been back to the big pool yet, (it's kinda hard to go between naps some days) so we'll see how the second trip goes. Here are some pictures and a video of our first pool experience.
Getting ready to walk to the pool! (Can't you see his excitement?)


He was surprisingly OK with the hat...must be his father's child!

Here's a little video too! (We understand that you have to really love us and our boy to be watching and loving these videos as much as we do! It's not up for the Oscars or anything!)

4 months old and growing


Jonathan is already 4 months old! Time is flying by for us...he's growing and changing so much! This month especially has been neat to watch all the new things he's doing. He's grabbing rattles, blankets and pretty much anything else he can get his hands on and immediately puts them in his mouth. He's "talking" to us, especially when we're reading books (he helps!) or like this past Sunday he wanted to join in the singing in church! It was so sweet to hear his little noises while we sang!
We went for his 4 month check up today and everything was great. He's 15 lbs 5 ozs, and almost 25 inches long. That sounds huge, but he's actually in the 50% percentile of both and is actually slimming up some. Dr. Collins said he was a very symmetrical little boy. That makes me laugh! He told us we could go ahead a start some rice cereal once a day. Not so much for nutritional value, but just to practice eating solid foods. I wish my doctor told me to practice eating! :) We're just so thankful he's such a healthy and happy baby! Here are some recent pictures and a video of him talking a little!
Not quite sure what to do with it...

It was quite a mess this first experience with a spoon!
