Months 1-4

I am summarizing, because Lyric is now almost 6 months old.

The first month home, Troy was my savior. He did a lot more than I did because of complications that I had. Ouch. Breastfeeding lasted exactly one month. Then we switched to formula, and ended up switching him to soy. Lyric didn't really do too much. He pooped a lot while he was breastfed, that's for sure! He started smiling actual smiles at about a month and a half I think, maybe a little before. In the picture above, he was a month and a half. He smiled/smiles sooo much. Never seen a baby smile so much. He was a pro at holding his head up right away when he was born, even the nurses commented. He has been standing in our laps since he came out too! Well, almost.

He loved his baths, until he got eczema. As soon as we had to cut down on baths per week he kind of forgot about it. Then he started crying as soon as he would touch the water. He has grown out of that. He started solids at 4 months. He really likes to eat. Umm.. We spent a lot of his 3rd month at his cousin Rylee's, babysitting I think Lyric misses seeing him because he gets so happy now, when he sees him =]

His first Thanksgiving was spent, first at my parents house. We ate and then went to Troy's mom's house. All of his family was there, and Lyric was wonderful. We stayed there all day and into the night, I left and went shopping with my sister for the after Thanksgiving sales, and Daddy took care of him.

For Christmas, he got a few clothes and toys from Grandpa Frank, a big zoo toy from Grandma and Grandpa that he loves. His favorite toy is a learning singing book that Grandpa Frank got him. Jr and Katy got him the seahorse that I had wanted since before having him, a cute photo frame for each month up to a year, and Katy made him a very cute blanket! I think that is all he got, we didn't even get him anything.

At his 4 month appointment he weighed 14lbs 9oz and was 26 inches long =]
