Long Island

This past weekend we went to Long Island for our nephew, AJ's Christening.  It was a fun weekend spending time with family and friends.  It is amazing what a difference two months makes.  Last time we made this trip, Teddy was just 2 months old and the drive there took 8 hours! (typically a 5 hour drive)  This time it took us 5 hours...Teddy did not want to stop once to eat!!  We are blessed with such a good little boy. He slept all the way there and still slept through the night!!

It was fun to see how much AJ has grown and spend time with all of our family!  We even got some good news while we were there!  Aunt Mary Valerie and Paul Michael are getting married!!  We are so excited for them!!

The boys...I bet there are going to be lots of pics of them together over the years!

The Kempinski Cousins!  Megan is so beautiful!

 

 My favorite...

Getting some love from Uncle Tony!

Cereal and a sippy cup for my big boy

Teddy had cereal for the first time tonight. He only took a few spoon fulls and spit most of it out but we tried. Teddy went to the doctor for his 4 month check up on the 25th. Teddy weighs 14lbs 4oz, is 25 1/2 inches long and his head circumference is 17 1/4. He got his shots and took them like a champ with very little crying. The doctor recommended starting him on oatmeal or barley cereal and also said to start letting him use a sippy cup to drink some water. Our little boy is getting so big...cereal and a sippy cup?!?

Trip to PA

This past weekend we went to PA to visit my brother and his lovely family.  Teddy did GREAT in the car ride there and back home.  On the way there he slept, only waking to eat once!  We had a great time visiting with everyone.  Josh and Emma really seemed to enjoy playing with Teddy.  Emma is going to make a great mother some day.  While we were there we spent lots of time hanging out, went for a walk and went to a train museum which even the big kids liked :-)  

 

LOVE these kids!!

Emma loved reading to Teddy!

Teddy slept through most of the museum...

Somehow Tara managed to avoid the camera all weekend long!  Thanks again Jim and Tara for letting us come visit for the weekend..we had a great time!!  Looking forward to our next visit!
