Joshua's first taste of rice cereal

4 months old

Joshua had his 4 month check-up today. He weighs 18 lbs, is 26 1/4 inches long,and head measures 17 1/4. That puts him in the 90th% for length and head, and 95th for weight.
We got the go-ahead to start on the rice cereal and baby food....so stay tuned for pictures!

Our trip to Michigan

November came and went so quickly -I didn't have time to do very much updating. We made the trip back to Michigan for Thanksgiving and Joshua's baptism. It was great to see family and friends again, but remain convinced there is nothing like Michigan winters!!! I think we will stay with our mild 50-60 degree December, thank you very much :) Josh's 4 month check-up is next week, so we'll have some stats and hopefully get the green light to start with rice cereal--oh boy!
Here are just a few pictures of our trip home.

Baptism at St Joan of Arc. He did really well until the water part...
