First Food!!!

So I started this post a while ago and am just now getting around to publishing it!!!  This was really from Friday, May 20th.....

Today was a big day for our little Doodles!!!  Maguire had his 4 month checkup at the doctor.  He weighs a whopping 11 lbs 9 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long!!!  Get this, that puts him in the 75th percentile for height and only the 5th percentile for weight!!!  Long, skinny little bird!  We know it's because he is such a little puker and are just anxiously waiting for the day that he grows out of it.  With that being said, we did go ahead and start him on some cereal tonight!  He did great with it!  I was actually pretty surprised!  Here's a few pics and a fun little video of it.  Daddy was in charge of the camera and we're not real used to using my camera to videotape so it's a little blurry.  Never mind how nerdy Michael and I are in it:)

So much to tell...So little time!!

Hello, hello!!!  Ok, so in the past week, I've had like 5 people ask me if I had updated my blog recently!  What???  People read this?  That's awesome!  So ok, I'll be better about posting then.  And I do not want to always start every post "So I haven't blogged in a while (right, Randa??)..." No thanks.  So on to the good stuff...
Big things have happened in our house since I was last on here.  I can't forget to talk about how my little Mr. sleeps through the night now!!!  Yes, please!!!  Now, I will say, that every couple of nights, he does get up once in the middle of the night and I still respond and go feed him.  But for the most part, he sleeps from 8-6:45 or 7.  It's funny because I didn't mind getting up with him only once before he started sleeping through the night.  Now though, the nights that I do have to get up feel waaaaayyy more painful than they did before!!  It's like I got a taste of the good stuff and it's real hard to go back!! 

Just a sweet one!

Another big change for us...I went back to work!!!  My first day back was not as terrible as I had anticipated!  All my co-workers brought snacks and there was a big sign that said "Welcome Back, We Missed You!!"  How precious is that?!  Of course I missed Maguire but knew he was in good hands with my best friend, Taran.  After Michael's first morning with him though, he came home from work and was like, "You can quit your job if you want."  We'll see...it's early still, but as of right now, I'm keeping my job.  It sure is a lot of work just getting to work though!!
   
Our little man is now almost 4 months old!!  Can you believe it?!!  I certainly can't!  He is such a blast!  Last weekend it was as if he suddenly found his voice!  He always cooed before but now he is doing it soo much more!  It is absolutely precious!  I need to figure out how to post videos on here because it is darling!

I celebrated my first mother's day!!  We travelled to SEK to stay with my sister, Miranda, and to celebrate my mom with a bbq that evening.  Maguire did well travelling of course and even slept well for us!  Too bad his daddy was tossing and turning all night and keeping me awake!  The next day we drove to Michael's mom's to have lunch with his family.  Michael surprised me with some SWEET Chanel sunglasses!  He's 2 for 2 on picking out the perfect pair!  I was impressed, but then again, I know he has good taste!  Let's just hope we don't lose this pair!!

I think that just about wraps it up for now.  I'm boring even myself!  I'm off to take advantage of this cold Saturday and take a nap with my little snugglebug!
