where did my baby go??

As of Monday J.David is weighing in at 14 lb. 7.8 oz and measuring 25 1/4 inches long!!! Where did my baby go?? And he was so tough about his shots...I was very impressed! Here are some recent pics of my little man!

After bath time with Daddy...Cheese!!

I put his in Morgan's Bison sweatshirt the other night to be funny...and it was!!
With Granny and Pap-pa! And of course J.David is showing off his new funny face. I think he does it b/c of his teething, but it makes me laugh!!
And eating rice cereal! He LOVES it!! and peas too so far! He breathes really hared in between bites b/c I am reloading the spoon, then cries when we run out. It is hilarious!!

COLD as ICE and 4 months old!!

Yesterday J.David turned 4 months old! This has really been a fun month! His personality is really starting to come out, and he is such a happy baby! His facial expressions are so animated from the sad face to the big giant grins and giggles. Every morning when he wakes up, even if he is crying, once he hears my voice or sees my face he gets the biggest smile. It is such a blessing to start off each day that way and I hope that is something he does all his life. We are going to try to get it on video one day this weekend, poor kid probably feels like he is on a reality show the way we have been video taping him lately.

We also started rice cereal last night! He did such a great job and ate the entire bowl!! (except the portion that slid out of his mouth...ha ha ha) We were really impressed. We did get video but we left our camera at my uncles house last weekend and with our schedules and the weather we haven't been able to pick it up. Bummer!!

Today was supposed to be his 4 month check up, but we got quite a bit of ice yesterday and I really didn't want to get him out. I was pretty disappointed because I am dying to know his height and weight, acurately. He is gotten so big and heavy and I am excited to see where he is on the charts. My predicition is that he will be average on weight and above on length...but who knows. So I rescheduled and know we go Mon.

Ok, well this one is getting super long, so I will end by saying Happy 4 months J.David, safe travels to Pap-pa (my dad is going to Asia for 3 weeks and we will miss him tons!), and a little shout out to Baby girl Rainbolt (my soon to be neice)...time for you to come meet the world! Oh..and check this website out from my brother-in-law...its like the elf thing but in street clothes!http://www.jibjab.com/sendables/view/FZtd5LtId7ZY7SZlwtQckSb9

Full House...

We had a full house this weekend and it was a blast! My sister, Natalie, spent the weekend at our house while my parents were away and Morgan's parents came in for a quick visit from AR. We just hung out, relaxed and J.David got some serious Trotter grandparent time. It had been a little over a month since they had seen him last, so needless to say he is quite a different baby since then, and boy did they enjoy it! It was sad to see them go this morning. I didn't get too many pictures this weekend (we were too busy playing the Wii we borrowed from my parents), so here are just a few from last week.

This picture is the first time he sat in his high chair. I am trying to get him used to it and since it has wheels he follows me around the house while I clean. It is a win win for us both! Note the massive double chin!

This one I think he is saying, "Alright with the pictures mom! I am not in the mood!!"

And of course the bath with Daddy picture. Morgan has started giving him most of his baths in the evening...its their "thing" and so cute! Morgan is SO good wit him. J.David LOVES his daddy time!!

Snow Baby!!

We are officially the crazy parents that will do anything for a cute pic! Here are some super cute pics of J.David in his 2nd official snow! (we missed the photo opt for 1st snow) We got about 8 in. last night and it looks so beautiful. There is nothing like a good snow day!
