Week 18: Four Months!

Happy Monday!

This weekend was perfect in that we had an adventure on Saturday and relaxed on Sunday.  Gotta have a mix of the two!

Saturday we drove out to Santa Monica to a street where this parenting website said it was good to take a baby on a stroller walk...we drove on it and thought it wasn't that exciting.  We ended up getting lunch at a yummy Mexican restaurant that was on the top of the Yelp list.  Leif did great until we got the check-he began to get fussy (hungry!).  

After that we walked around this mall/outdoor shopping strip and ended the trip with Leif yelling at the top of his lungs (he's been very vocal the last couple weeks).  Of course once we got to the car he stopped shouting.  Silly baby.

Sunday morning I met up with Jen & Weston for breakfast.  I forgot to take a photo so she sent me one of them grocery shopping (I think!).  We had to bolt from the restaurant at the end because Leif started getting super fussy/hungry.  Always hungry.

Jen was gorgeous as always and Weston has grown up so quickly!

After grocery shopping with Leif in the moby wrap (lots of people kept smiling and ogling Leif since he was in his fedora...people love babies in grown-up hats!), we put up the door bouncer for Leif...

He thoroughly enjoyed himself for a few minutes, but then got a little tired & fussy

Leif had his four month check-up this morning, and I think all the nurses are in love with him.  I don't blame them!  

Such a smiley baby when he's fed/well-rested

Grabbing daddy's beard.  Don't you love the Finding Nemo mural?!

He was great up to the point when a student checked on him after the nurse...I didn't get a chance to feed him before we left, so he was super hungry and started screaming when the nurse checked his vitals.  Once she left I was able to feed him a little and the doc walked in right as I finished.  He was such a better baby!  Everything is great:

Weight: 17.75 lbs. (93rd percentile)

Height: 27 in. (98th percentile!)

Then he had his shots.  Probably was the loudest I have ever heard Leif scream.  Felt so bad for him!  But I fed him again immediately after and that seemed to calm him down a bit.  I dropped hubs and Leif off at home then came to work.  Hubs said Leif had been asleep since they got home for almost two hours.  Getting three shots takes a lot out of a baby.

Now I have about 45 minutes left of work (hooray!).  So far so good, just hope traffic isn't terrible on my way home.  Oh and I forgot to add another countdown-Sunday, July 27th one of the hubs' friends is getting married, so that will be Leif's first wedding!  90 days until that wedding, which will also be Leif's 7-month birthday.  But first...last day of classes is only 11 days away!
