He's a Chip Off the Old Block

...which in this case is not a good thing. You see, last night Carrie introduced Aston to carrots and he was not very happy that they had met. He made some awful faces. Some of which I'm sure reminded Carrie and Brittney both of faces that I have made when occassionaly trying to eat a vegetable. Considering the grief that my brother and I gave our parents with vegetables growing up I think its kind of funny.
But, this just won't do. He needs to eat vegetables, just like I need to eat vegetables. So - we're going to keep giving them to him whether he likes it or not and I'm going to eat them too. I'll just have to approach it the same way I approached developing a taste for wine...just keep forcing it down and eventually you'll stop making faces! Lord help me.

FOOD!!!

Brother went to the Dr. today for his 4 month check up. He now weighs 14.2 pounds and is 25.5 inches long. The doctor has calculated (with her special formula) that Brother will be approximately 6 foot tall when he is an adult. She also said he looks great; growing good, moving good, etc. She did say that he is ready for food. We have been giving him oatmeal in his bottle for the last week or so but she frowned on that saying he could choke. So we now will be feeding him from a spoon that he is still learning to use. But I do have to say, he likes seefood! As soon as he has the spoon down she said we can move onto fruits and veggies.

And did I mention that Brother has a super hero name? Meet the Droolanator. He has a cape and all!

And I have added his for faux hawk picture too for your enjoyment.

I think that is about all we have going on.

Brittney is looking forward to church camp. She still has a balance due that we are working on. The garage sale came out pretty good. I think we made about $130 in 2.5 hours. Not to shabby.

Gotta go - Brother isn't feeling too hot after the 4 shots he got today so he is being a little fussy. I think Dad has had enough.

Bath time!

Brother took a bath in the real bath tub today. He is officially a big boy. He wasn't sure what to think about it. He usually covers the bathroom floor with water when he is in his infant tub but not today. There wasn't much kicking going on. He mainly looked at us in wonder. Britt wanted to get in with him but I told her not just yet.
