Here's Roxey at 4 months, and you know what that means... Another doctor's visit. She checked out just great and weathered the shots even better than last time. We have had a few friends say that their pediatrician told them they could start solids as early as 4 months, so in preparation, we started to use Roxey's bumbo in the mornings while I would wash her face and hands. (That's why she is in her pjs in each picture, I promise I do dress her... occasionally!) Well, in the beginning, she was as happy as a clam, then our little gumby would arch her way out of the chair, so desperate times call for desperate measures. Many people suggested that we buy a chair that can just attach to one of our kitchen chairs, but with how this girl moves, I figured we needed a tall back, so we purchased a high chair. Anyhow, turns out that our pediatrician says to wait to introduce solids until she's 6 months old. Jordan was devastated, he can't wait. She also said that she shouldn't go into a swimming pool until then also, but we are going to pretend like we didn't hear that! We are just too excited for summer to come! Now if the weather would just cooperate.
"Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away..." (Roxey loves to watch Seasame Street with her dad.) For those of you my age, do you remember that gal on Seasame Street that would always sit in the big rocking chair? This picture made me think of it.
When entering motherhood, I was half prepared for the fact that I wouldn't fit into my pants right away. Now it has been four months, and I am wondering if I ever will. Whatever. What I would have never imagined though was that my tops wouldn't fit either. And no, not for the reason that I have hoped for all my life, but because my ribcage expanded. I mean who's does that?! Anyhow, after a meltdown in my closet because I can't wear anything in there, Jordan told me I had to breakdown and buy new clothes. I hate to spend money on myself, especially now, but it was all too necessary this time. So on Saturday I headed up to the outlets, and after striking gold at Banana Republic, I couldn't help but buy a few things on mega sale for Roxey. Once I got home, I was showing Jordan the things I had purchased. Roxey could have cared less, that is until I got to her items, and she began to laugh. We were slow to capture it on film and I truly hate how I sound, but her laughter just makes my heart melt.
