So it's a little bit late but Parker turned 4 months on the 23rd. I cant believe it. I swear it was yesterday when I was writing his 3 month post, but here we are with a few updates:
He has officially rolled over both ways, and does it
all the time. Will someone enlighten me on why we want them mobile? Because for as cute as it is to see him roll over, I curse the name of whoever decided baby mobility was a good idea every time I am trying to change his diaper and he rolls over to grab the sleepy turtle. He has gotten up on hands and knees twice now and then gotten scared and rolled back over. He has started rice cereal and loves it. At his 4 month appointment this morning, the doctor said that we should start to thicken it up and then if he continues to do well and we are so inclined we can start him on stage 1 Gerber veggies. I can't wait. I think I am going to try out making my own baby food and see how I like it.
The doctor said he and his wife did the same thing - for about a week. Then they realized how much cheaper and easier it is to just buy the Gerber jars. I have a feeling that will be me too, but nonetheless I will try. Parker has mastered the reach and grab with toys and has recently started to reach for those cute chubby things at the ends of his legs. He hasn't quite grabbed one yet, but he likes to look at his feet and reach for them.

| Christmas Eve |
Christmas was great, we had so much fun the last three days. Our Christmas Eve hors d'ourve buffet (meatballs, jalapeno popper dip, pizza mushrooms and garlic and herb goat cheese) was a huge success. We played spoons and Egyptian Rat Slap with everyone and got to watch Gloria trying to bite the spoon out of Christa's hand and Christa leaping over the table to swipe one. It was hilarious. We had a great time at my parents yesterday filled with snark, sarcasm and lots of laughs as always. The kids made out with awesome presents.
