4 months old!!!

As you can see here, we have started with cereal now. It took him about a week to completely figure out what to do with a spoon. Its so cute to watch him eat it, every bite is like a surprise to him. He does a great job of getting it everywhere too, as you can see in the picture above.

Grammy took this picture with him in his little robe. He was playing before bathie time. He absolutly loves his hands now. If hes not drinking a bottle or eating cereal, he is eating his hands and slobbering all over the place. We asked Dr. Emmick about teeth coming in and she said that a lot of babies will start the "theething process" of chewing on thier hands and slobbering even up to a couple months before they get teeth in. She looked and there aren't any teeth yet.

I just had to post this picture because he was just talking up a storm. He loves to talk and smile at you when you are talking to him. Sometimes it sounds like he is really saying words. You can also see here that he is getting way too big! :) We took him to his 4 month check up with Dr.Emmick on Wednesday and he weighed 15 lbs and is 25 in long! He gained 4 lbs and grew 2 in in two months. She told us that he is growing perfect and even said he is perfect too. We told her that we wanted her to tell us something we dont know. :) She loves little Dillon, and we lover her too!! Shes great!

Not to much is new with the rest of the family. Darren has been busy with work, golfing and riding his bike. I have been busy with work and taking care of lil D. And every once in a while we get to have some family time. We put up a blow up pool in the yard last weekend and we are waiting on the water to get warm enough for all of us to get in. I can't wait to see what Dillon does in the water. He loves bath time so I'm sure he will love it. Darren and I just booked our first family vacation. We will be going to St.Louis the first couple days of July. We are pretty excited to take Dillon on a vacation and to just get away just the three of us, with no golfing involved!! :) The following weekend Darren and I will be in Chicago at the Nascar race there. Mary got us some pit passes for the race up there, so we will go up there for the weekend and spend some quality time with each other and the Newman clan! :)

We will be sure and post some pictures of our vacation when we get back. Wish us luck with driving 4 hours with a 4 month old! :)
