Ari rolled over!!!

Here is a video of Ari rolling over for the second time! The first time I did not catch on tape but he did it again when I got back with the video camera. He was so cute. He was alittle preoccupied staring at Kiki but finally made his move. He has been rolling over all day long after I put him down on his belly. I am so proud of my little man!!

Our trip to Charlotte

Last weekend we took a trip to see Auntie Jen, Uncle Dax, and Cousin Macyn in Charlotte, NC. Due to some bad weather and the need to stop and feed Ari, what is normally a 7 hour trip took us about 10 hours. Ari did surprisingly good but did have his moments on the way back. Although the ride was long, it was well worth it. It was so nice to be able to spend the weekend with them. We were originally supposed to come back on Sunday but bc we were having so much fun we stayed one extra day! Here are a few pictures of the babies including their very first swimming adventure. They did not cry but we think they were so confused about what they were doing in water with their diapers on and with their mommy's holding on to them.

Another day, another meal

Ari ate his oatmeal cereal again today and loved it!! He is eating like a champ and even tried to hold his bottle after his meal all on his own. I can't believe how my baby boy is growing. I can't wait to try fruits! It's gonna get messy real quick.... :)

Ari's eating solids!!!

On Friday, Ari's Doctor said we could go ahead and start feeding him single grain oatmeal or rice cereal at night. Since we went to Charlotte this weekend we waited until tonight to start him on solids. We made a tablespoon of single grain oatmeal and made it nice and watery just like the Doctor suggested and started feeding him. At first he seemed alittle confused and didn't know what to do with the "mushy stuff" in his mouth but he got the hang of it real quick! By the third spoon, he was eating and even swallowing his food like a pro. We were so proud of our little man and here are a few pics of the moment. We caught it on video and plan to upload that later this week.

Our baby who loves watching Baby Einstein on the TV

Ari loves to watch TV and now we are limiting how much we actually let him watch. These are pics of him watching TV while we are getting ready for work in the morning. As you can see, he is really enjoying himself....

Ari found his thumb!

Once Ari found his thumb he fell right to sleep. It was too cute!

BEFORE AND AFTER

Ari's first blizzard

On February 5, 2010, a large part of the East Coast received an enormous amount of snow. Here is Maryland I think we ended up with 30 inches of snow. Yes, 30 inches!!! It was insane... We have been confined to the house since Friday night and are loving our time with Ari. Here are a few pics of Ari and Daddy modeling in the snow.

Ari's new look after hanging out with Daddy

He looked too darn cute in his winter hat from his Aunt Karen and Uncle John to pass up a photo op.... :)

Hey DIMPLES!!

My little man is not so little anymore

I can't believe my little guys will be 4 months old next week! Time is flying by and he is growing so unbelievably fast. He the size of a 7 month old and I cannot wait for his next Doctor's appointment on February 12th to see how he stacks up to other 4 month olds. LOL.

I am just thankful that he is strong and healthy and continues to grow well. He is doing very well with his day care provider and has really become very independent. I know it was very tough to leave him when I went back to work but he is doing so good and I have no regrets. He is very friendly with everyone and is not afraid to be left with other people when Mommy or Daddy are not around and I am thankful for that.

I don't have too many new pics bc I haven't had much time to take any but as soon as I get some, I will definitely be posting them!
