Happy St Patricks Day

We hope everyone had a great day! Of course it was beautiful which made it even better! Things here are still crazy as ever- Erica's gymnastics is winding down though she has two classes left, I think we will try swimming then maybe enter gymnastics at 2 she will be at a different class then. Aaron is doing well he is eating oatmeal well and we have started to add some formula to his bottles at Sandy's since he is now eating more than I am pumping at work. Still trying to figure out how to get him to sleep without his swaddle. I have taken my first step into the triathlon sport...I did an indoor tri this weekend at lifetime. I was very proud of myself in the under 40 group I was 13 out of 25...not bad for my first time and just under 5 mos of having Aaron. I better get a move on though I have signed up for the Naperville womens in June and chicago in Aug.

misc....

Well we know Erica is a Laskey- here she is having her first very own OREO- and of course as predicted - she LOVED IT!
She was not sure what to do at first but she soon figured it out!!

Aaron has been doing well sitting in the bebe pod and now in his exersaucer! He is learning to push and pull the toys attached! Erica of course is helping him- being the great big sister that she is! It is so cute to see the two of them though- Aaron definitely knows who she is and smiles at her- awesome! I can't wait till he can play with her - I know she cannot wait either!

Aaron 4 months

So here we have it, though somewhat late- better than never- right! Things have been busy here to say the least!
So here it goes at Aarons 4 month appointment we got shots of course, though he did well he cried for 30 secs max and then he ate some milk which made him forget about his little legs. He was given the green light for rice cereal which we have since started. Difficult in the beginning though he is getting better and we are going to up it to twice a day soon, now that he knows to get his tongue out of the way forthe spoon! Sleep is another issue- he has started to go to sleep aroung 730-8 after Erica and he is doing pretty well though he wakes up at 1-2 to eat then goes back to sleep maybe til 630ish. We tried to put hi down for a nap without the swaddle and that was a nightmare- he screamed the entire time...maybe we will keep the swaddle for a little longer. Next are his measures...He maintained 50th % with height being 25in though dropped in his weight from 50th to 25th% he was 13bs and 14 oz. He is still a big boy to me!

First bite!
