Leading Up to 4 Months


Well I am a horrible blogger-- that being said here it what has been doing on in the Hayford household these days. 

Last time I posted Samuel was starting to sit up and he had just gotten baptized. Since then Samuel and I celebrated my first Mother's Day! It was so nice- Brandon let me sleep in and he then went got my breakfast. Then I got a very sweet card from both my boys and then I deep cleaned the house in attempt to clean up the dog hair and dander since it has been bothering Samuel a bit. I deep cleaned the carpet and after I was done with that we went to Sears to let Brandon use some of his gift cards that he has been keeping since last Christmas.
Mother's Day 2014
Samuel is now 4 months old and he LOVES to sit up. He honestly doesn't really like sitting back like a baby unless he is tired and getting a bottle.

At our 4 month check up Samuel weighted in at 17 pounds and measured at 24 inches long! I can't believe how fast he is growing. We also got the green light from his pediatrician to start giving him rice cereal 2-3 times a day! As soon as he has cereal 3 times a day and is still have good bowel movements we can start on vegetables-- I really can't believe my little baby is already big enough for that!

Other than preparing to make my own baby food, we have just been going to family birthday parties and get togethers. Samuel has also started teething so he is constantly chewing on everything and he has been talking up a storm! Its so cute to ask him questions and he responds (I think!)

We also had our first time in a Swing! 

All in all he is a very happy little man and he is just the sweetest. He loves to chew and play in his exersaucer and play with mommy and daddy. 

Until next time!
