Happy Four-month birthday little Frank! These last four months have been the best months of my life, and it is all because of you. You are the sweetest, most precious gift, and I thank God every day for bringing you into my life. We are so blessed!!
On the eve of Frank's four-month birthday, Frank rolled over from back to belly for the first time. He then proceeded to roll over every five minutes or so all day long today. He has forgotten how to roll from his belly to his back, so every time he rolls onto his belly he cries and gets frustrated until we roll him back over. I really hope that he does not start doing this at night and waking himself up! Hopefully he will figure out how to flip himself back over quickly, or else the days of leaving him unattended and happy on his playmat are over!
Tonight, while I was changing his outfit, Frank had his first "laugh attack." He has been laughing for the last couple of months or so, but his laughter has always been pretty intermittent and hard to predict. Tonight, he was laughing so hard that it made me laugh really hard, and we both just laughed for a good couple of minutes. Frank could hear the commotion from downstairs, so he ran up to see what was so funny, and he got to laugh with our little buddy for a couple of minutes too. There is nothing cuter than a smiling, laughing baby!
Today was also St. Patrick's day, so of course we had to wear our green. Here are some pictures from today:
On Tuesday night we decided to give Frank rice cereal for the first time. He had woken up hungry two nights in a row prior to Tuesday--which he had not done in months--and the doctor told us this was a sign that he was ready to start solid foods. Frank was SO EXCITED about this latest development, and when I sent him to the store to buy rice cereal, he came back with every single Stage 1 baby food that the store carries! I laughed and told him that we can't just start feeding him all of this stuff at once, but it was cute that he is so excited. Anyway, Frank has the honor of being the first person to feed him, and as you can tell from the pictures, he pretty much hated it! We have been giving it to him for the last three nights, and he still hates it. He spits it out, turns his head away, pushes the spoon out of his mouth, and does pretty much everything he can to avoid it. And then, every now and then, he will eat a bite. It is really pretty funny (and extremely messy)! The good news is that he has not woken up hungry since we started giving it to him! Here are some pictures from Frank's first rice cereal:
