Bodwell Family: May 2010

The little man had his 4 month check-up about 2 weeks ago. He was 14 lbs. 7 oz. and was 25.25 inches long. He is getting SO big. The doctor said we could try giving him some baby cereal which we did. He doesn't seem to mind it but I don't think it makes him sleep any longer than he normally does. She also said he needs more tummy time because he should be rolling over and he hadn't yet until this past Saturday but now we can't get him to do it again. He spends more time awake now than sleeping so its fun getting to play with him. He does some of the silliest things. He is very alert and likes things that make noise now. I was tapping his crib with my fingers this morning and he was just staring at them. He is starting to teeth so he gets a little fussy at times but so far not to bad. He likes to chew on his blanks, toys, teething toys, and yes even fingers.

We took him on his very first road trip to Phoenix at the end of April. He did very well in the car. He slept most of the time. I took him out to feed him and play a little while we where stopped to get gas. He got to meet lots of relatives that he had not met yet. Let's see he met Uncle John (who was also in Phoenix on vacation), aunt Amanda and uncle Bryan (who he helped move into their new apartment) uncle Caleb, aunt Kendra, and cousin Janessa (he got to see cousin Nessa play tee ball) great grandpa Hacker and Helena, Rick and Michelle Hall, uncle David and Tabby (they all came over for a BBQ), aunt Rhonda and uncle David, great grandma Leann and great grandpa Larry, cousin Ike and Tiffany, Bill and Peggy and Junior (he got to see most of these relatives several times since while we where there we attended 2 baby showers, a going away party, and a birthday party for 2 people). He was very sociable, everybody got to hold him several times. He wasn't so sure about great grandma Leann at first but he warmed up to her.

Grandma Diane and aunt Aubrey took Connor to his very first major league baseball game (mommy of course tagged along). The DiamondBacks where playing the Phillies. It was a nice night for a baseball game, they had the roof of the ball diamond open. Grandma was so proud to show him off to all the ladies around her that usually bring their grandkids.

While we where there we also went to the Phoenix Zoo which was his first time at a zoo. He didn't do to bad. He fell asleep a couple of times while we where walking around but I think he had a pretty good time. Opa, Meme, grandma Diane, great grandma Leann, and great grandpa Larry came with. We went when the zoo opened in the morning and where there till noon so it didn't get to hot.
