Fun In the Sun

Over the Memorial Day weekend we visited the family in Memphis. AJ and Frank were so kind to host! Price took his first dip in the pool. After he got comfortable in the water he laid back in his float like he was born to relax.

Mother's Day

Price and Wes made my first Mother's Day wonderful. Thanks to all of you who sent cards, emails and texts! I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Playing Catch Up

If I was a better blogger I would not have to play catch up, but so is the life of a working mother. So to catch everyone up, Price is now over four months old and he is SO MUCH FUN! He is constantly laughing, smiling and cooing. Wes and I think he is the happiest baby (we are biased of course). At his four month doctor's apt he was 26.5 inches long and weighed 17 lbs 2 ounces keeping him in the 95% of boys his age. Needless to say, he is growing quickly and obviously loves to eat. We have now started feeding him some yummy baby food. Price has eaten green beans, sweet potatoes, squash and pears. We started with the veggies knowing at some point he will refuse those (as we all probably did). Price is learning how to eat from a spoon and is doing a good job; however, he makes a mess!!

Price has also become a pro at rolling from his back to his stomach. He even sleeps on his stomach now...until about 3:00 am when he is frustrated that he cannot turn back over, so like a turtle, Wes and I roll him over.

It only takes one sweet smile from Price to be reminded what a blessing we have received. He truly is joy that will melt your heart. We love seeing him change and grow daily and are constantly amazed at his "new tricks." I will keep you updated on any new developments (or at least I will try...remember working mother=busy, busy, busy).

$25 Prescription

Last weekend Price was dedicated at our church here in Birmingham. It was such a special day that we were fortunate to share with family and friends. A big thanks to those who traveled and participated in making that day so memorable.

I think Price got accustomed to being spoiled while all our family was in town because he did not sleep well for several nights. Wes and I started to think he was waking up in the middle of the night because he was congested from a cold. After several phone calls to the doctor I decided to take him in. After the doctor checked his vital signs he gave me the diagnosis....he loves his mommy! It appears in the past month Price has gotten smarter and now recognizes patterns. He knows how much to cry so we put a pacifier in him mouth and he knows how loud to cry/scream so we pick him up or even feed him. Needless to say, I got my first $25 prescription for parenting 101..."Let him cry."

New tricks include lots of smiles and laughter (as you can see by the video post). He is also flirting with the task of rolling over. He turns so that his hips are in the air, but he has not figured out how to complete the roll. We will keep you updated!

Price 11 Weeks Old

 

 

 

 

To catch you up to speed, at Price's last Doctor's appointment (8.5 weeks old) he weiged 14 lbs and was 25.5 inches long putting him in the 97 percentile. We might have a linebacker on our hands instead of a quarterback!! Needless to say, he is eating well.

Another big milestone was accomplished at exactly 10 weeks (drum roll please), he slept through the night!! We put him down at 10:30 pm and he did not wake up until 6:30 am. Since then he has consistently slept until at least 5:00 am. It is amazing how 5 am is warmly embraced after 10 weeks of interrupted sleep.

Price is such a joy and he is a happy baby. He smiles often and even has a few chuckles outloud.
