Fresh from the garden!

Almost there

uhh, exercise

Evan and I are going strong with the running program. We started week two this morning. I have to run a bit everyday from now on. Last week it was a 15 min walk every other day and then walk 5, run 1, walk 5, run 1, walk 5. This week I have to go a bit farther, .77 mi. I already walk about a mile in 15 min so it's not hard to get the distance. The nike+ sensor is working great. I do my workout then come home and upload them from my iphone to the website through itoons. It shows me my total miles, how far I go each time, and calories burnt. Since I'm doing the program it shows my run for that day against the distance I'm supposed to meet. It also steps through week by week to show me the schedule I need to meet, how much walking and running for each. It's a good motivator for me. The program is shown on a bar graph in blue. My runs go up in orange. It prevents me from letting a day slide and not matching the blue bar. I'm trying to plan little milestones for myself. Such as Katie coming in will mean I've been following the program for a month. I've also joined a 25 mile challenge as well as most miles in 30 days. I don't think I'll win the last one but it's still helps with motivation.

Evan's getting better at tummy time. I actually got him to play a little bit without screaming.

Starting to roll over but still more interested in playing.

Fruits and veggies from the Ferguson farmers market. The peaches are for Evan.

More homemade babyfood, sweet potatoes and carrots. So far Evan really likes the sweet potato. He's catching on really quick. He already knows to open his mouth for spoon. He still tries to suck on it sometimes. We're going to try carrots for dinner tomorrow. Ray, Evan, and I also went to the Nike store. I got some Nike+ shoes and a sensor. We've been walking a lot lately to test it out and get some exercise. I'm also starting a walk to run 12 week running program. It's not hard yet so we'll see how it goes.

Evan's first homemade babyfood. I made it with the wonderful machine Will and Ryan gave us. It's easy peasy!

Evan's four month check up

We actually went a week early because Evan has had a rash off and on for a few weeks. He's also been really cranky the last week or so. And he wants to eat like every two hours. So I took him in. She said the rash might be excema and told us to use hydrocortisone. I put it on him last night before he went to bed and it looks a whole lot better. It should be gone in a few days. She also checked his stats, he's 18.5 lbs and 26 1/4" tall. And she gave him his shots. She said he's probably been grumpy because he's got a lot of different things going on. He seems to be teething and he's growing. She said he also seems to be exhibiting all the signs of a boy who's ready for food. She said this after he tried to eat her lab coat. So he's cleared for real food now. He had his first taste of ceral last night. He wasn't a big fan. I tried to spoon feed him first. He didn't know what to do with that of course. So next we tried putting it in a bottle. He didn't like that much better.
So this morning I did the same again. He actually took it off the spoon and kind of chewed it. After he got tired of that I gave it to him in a bottle and he sucked it down. The pediatrician said to do cereal for a week and if he seems fine on that then he can have fruits or veggies starting next week.
Evan is turning into a big boy so quick. We also moved him into his own room this past Sunday. He did fine but Ray and I are still getting used to it and trying not to worry about him so much. We also bought him a bounce and play station and a big boy convertible carseat. He's almost out grown the one he has.

First success with a spoon (second time feeding)!

Evan's first nap in his crib. I turned on the mobile Paula got him and jumped in the shower. When I got out he was asleep.
