Happy Boy

Gentry is usually a pretty happy baby. For some reason, he was extra happy this morning. I could just look at him and he would start to laugh. This was the best I could get on video. He freezes up as soon as he sees the orange light on the camera.

I feel so blessed to have such a happy and healthy baby boy. He truly is the light of our lives.

Here's another one if him this morning. Look at those chubby cheeks!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

So Gentry has finally rolled over! He rolled from his belly to his back 3 times on Monday, Sept. 14th. However, he's only done it once since then. Guess he decided it wasn't all it's chalked up to be.

I tried to catch him mid-roll, but this was all I got. As soon as I tried to video tape it, he just sat there smiling at me. Yay for rolling over!

In other news, we went to his 4 month check-up a couple weeks ago and here are his stats: he now weighs 14 lbs 5 oz and is 24.5 inches long. The doctor commented on how perfectly round his bald little head is! Still no signs of hair!

We are sure he is teething now, too. He is super drooly and very cranky. We are trying everything to try and find what comforts him best. Right now, it seems to be the frozen washcloth or his new soft teething ring I just bought.

What a ham!

We've still been going to playgroup every Wednesday morning. He really seems to enjoy watching the other babies. Today we actually went to the movies with a few friends. It's been awhile since I had been to the movie theater. He did really well and I enjoyed getting to see a new movie (Love Happens) and having some girl time.

Mitchell has been busy with work. They are preparing for their next field exercise; he'll be down in 29 Palms for 2 weeks in October. Other than that, not much else is new with us. Still waiting for the weather to cool off.

Happy Boy

So I know it's been a couple weeks since the last update...SORRY TRISH :) We have been pretty busy lately. We've been on "field-trips" with our playgroup friends, to playgroup and to other meetings with Momma. We've been trying to go to places that have AC since it's been in the 90's here and we don't have AC in our house. PHEW it's been HOT!
Gentry is really growing and learning so much each day. I am so amazed by him!
-He is almost rolling over.
-He can now reach for and grab a toy that you put in front of him.
-He is sitting very well with support.
-He loves to splash in his bathtub (which makes for a nice mess to clean up!).
-He is even giggling at Momma and Daddy. We've gotten a few laughs before, but now he does the full on laughing, which is super cute!
-He gets super excited when he sees one of us when he first wakes up.
We go for his 4 month check-up on Tuesday. I'm excited to see how much he weighs and how much he's grown. I'm also waiting to see if the Doctor will tell me it's time to start trying "solid" food.
The following pics are in no particular order, just some random pics I chose to share:

Such a drooly boy! I'm thinking he's beginning to teethe.

Gentry's friend Evan has finally arrived!! Many play-dates are in our future :)

Gentry is now reaching for and grabbing his toys. He loves his vibrating/singing cow. Unfortunately, he has almost figured out how to wiggle out of his Bumbo seat.

Someone has learned how to suck their thumb! This was taken in July. Fortunately, he no longer does this. However, it is so darn cute!
