1st taste of rice cereal

Reece had his first taste of rice cereal a couple weeks ago. I don't think he quite knew what we were up to. He is getting better at it, and we've moved on to oatmeal and trying twice a day. Just a few more weeks, and we'll be starting solids. I hope to make most of Reece's baby food so that should be interesting. Enjoy the video and a few snapshots of the big milestone!

4 months...just a little late!!

Reece is getting so big, growing too fast, but I guess that's how things go. His stats from his Dr's appointment were 14lbs 2oz (36%), 25in long (55%), and 16.5in (44%) OFC. Look's like we may not have a shrimp on our hands after all. He is becoming very active, loves playing with his hands and putting them in his mouth, working on finding his thumb, going between 8-9 hours between feedings at night, and loves smiling for anyone who will talk to him. Enjoy the new pictures!

I was being a little fussy one night so dad thought he would try the sink.

Apparently, it was comfortable because I was quiet for a few minutes.



Dad loves to let me taste things I shouldn't!

On this night it was some purple candy.

Trisha & Nick's Wedding

Reece got to attend his first wedding in January. My good friend Trisha got married (finally!, her words, not mine). He did great with his first church experience, enjoyed all the attention from Gma and Gpa Krodel, but wasn't too sure about the loud music. He also had his first night away from mommy & daddy. He of course did great, but mommy wished she had taken advantage of the opportunity for extra sleep. Congratulations Trisha & Nick! We had a great time, and the bride was gorgeous!!
