More peas, please!

Drum roll please.... Ta da! Josiah gets his first vegetable. After his 4 month check-up, we got the okay to try some baby foods. It was suggested that we try green veggies first. I would call it a success, but it was kind of hard to read Josiah's reaction. You can help decide. Next comes sweet potatoes and applesauce. Yum!


John seems to have this knack for finding very creative ways to entertain Josiah. One of them is letting him watch the Noggin channel upside-down. He seems highly amused.... Josiah I mean. What will he think of next?

More giggles!

Josiah meets Teddy the Bear. This is not just any teddy bear. This is the Miller bear that has been passed down through all of my siblings and my niece. Now he has been handed to Josiah. As you can see, he is greatly amused and taken by Teddy. I believe they are going to be the best of friends.



Josiah had his 4 month check-up today. He is 27 inches long and weighs 14 pounds. He's right on track. As you can see, he is now eating cereal and I just received the okay on baby food. Green beans, here we come! The awesome benefit of his growth is that he now sleeps through the night. Hooray! Mommy could not be more pleased.










Josiah is also learning all about computers from John. It's never too early, right? John even has a laptop just his size. He'll be a pro in no time, especially if John has anything to do with it. Although he did manage to drool on the sofa. Maybe he's not quite there yet. :)






How can Josiah go wrong with all these wonderful women surrounding him. These are his lovely aunts (Desiree and Dawn) and his Gammy. They could not be more proud. His cousin, Danielle, is in Spain, but will be home this Summer. Josiah is not spoiled one bit! Yeah, right. He is already such a flirt. He smiles and coos at anyone who will pay him attention. He's going to be quite the heart-breaker. (Except when it comes to his mother, of course.) ;)

Stay tuned for more....

I finally caught Josiah's giggles on camera. The trick was to put the camera to the side. Whenever I face it directly to him, he becomes mesmerized and won't laugh. I'm so happy to have captured his sweet laugh, at last. Although I kind of wish I would've brushed his hair. Please excuse his wild morning do. :)

Let the learning begin...

Over the course of a week, Josiah has suddenly undergone several changes. First of all, he now knows where his hands are in time and space... therefore grasping objects and holding onto them. The first place they go is straight in his mouth. Big surprise. The blocks in these pictures are his absolute favorite. He also began eating cereal. He eats from a spoon like a champ! Josiah is quite the observer and my pediatrician confirmed that he is indeed a genius. Well... okay... maybe she didn't say exactly that, but she did say he is very alert for his age. I remain in awe at the rate that babies learn and what a great gift it is to see my precious son develop his mind.
