While going back to work was difficult (and still is), it was a relief to have our little one in the care of such and awesome sister. While she was here, Meggy caught some awesome milestone moments on camera. Nathaniel started giggling this month! Not just smiling, and a little coo, but all out laughing :)
What a joy it is to here a baby laughing.
He also rolled over from his tummy to his back, and is currently working hard and rolling from his back to his tummy.
He has been exercising his legs by practicing standing in mommy's arms, pushing, kicking and he has even discovered his toes and grabs at them whenever he is laying on his back! I can't believe the difference a month makes. He has even grown...a little bit. He has gained weight, weighing in at his 4 month checkup at 11lbs 6 oz. BUT, he has dropped from the 10th percentile to the 5th percentile. Doc's not worried and neither are we. We just happen to have one of the cutest, toughest, smallest little peanut's in the world! (No, I'm not biased :) )
Auntie Megan said goodbye on the 3rd of June to embark on the next phase of her life's journey. She moved to Florida!! It was so wonderful to have you here Megan. Thank you for so generously sharing your time with us, and we wish you all the best in Florida and with what's to come next! We miss you bunches and hope you'll come visit soon!
Auntie Kelley arrived a few days before Megan left, and while she was here we were able to escape and go wedding dress shopping with Kelley! It was amazing to be out with just the ladies for some much needed girl time. Our first stop was Glamour Closet in downtown chicago. There we were able to go through and put cute pink clothespins on the hangers of dresses for Kelley to try on. The staff were very friendly and overall we found one of Kelley's favorite dresses there. After and hour we moved on to Cynthia's consignment and discovered they no longer consingn dresses...bummer. SO, we took a quick lunch break at Qdoba, and headed off to Weddings 826. Let me just say, If you are ever looking for a wedding dress in Chicago, make this a stop. They have the cutest little shop with gorgeous dresses and accessories, and they offered us coffee, tea or champaigne! They even had hersheys kisses on the table where we were waiting as Kelley was fitted into each of her gowns. They mad it pretty fun, and they had an awesome selection of gowns. Each dress she tried on seemed even more beautiful then the next! We found several beautiful dresses...too many to pick just one! We didn't end up making a purchase this time around, but I am sure Auntie Kelley has loads of ideas for what she may want moving forward. All in all it was a great day with some much needed sister time! If only mom and Taryn could have been there!
Kelley stayed on for a week and also graciously gave of her time to babysit Nathaniel. He is so lucky to have such an amazing family to care for him.
We also recieved a short but sweet visit from Auntie Julie this month. During her vacation she wanted to come and spend some time with Nathaniel (and us too of course!). Nathaniel was so taken with her dark hair and smile. She even got him to give her lots of giggles! Regretably we neglected to take pictures of her visit :( We will have to make a point to do so next time.
Up next in line tomorrow and Friday is Auntie Jeneen, and then Grandma Yantes comes for 10 days!!! We are so very excited to see her!
Here are the 4 month photos as promised:
