Great day for overalls

These days it feels a whole lot more like mid April than mid February, but we'll gladly take it!  We've been getting out and enjoying the weather as much as possible.  Here's a few shots of Charlie rocking some overalls today!

Oh and thanks to Papa John and Gigi, Charlie is rocking his first mohawk or "spiked hair!"

Charlie's First Spoon Feeding

The decision of when to start "solids" has been debated heavily within the House on Strathmore the past few weeks.  The debate concluded following our 4-month check up when Dr. Bucci said, "the kid is ready." We are going to attempt to make our own baby food, we'll see how that goes, but in sticking with the "plan" we started with Oatmeal first. We weren't sure what to expect but definitely didn't think he'd catch on so quickly.  At this rate we'll be processing and pureeing by weeks end.

4 Month Photo Shoot

Today our little man turned four months old! Since he seems to be growing and changing so fast, we decided it was a good time to break out the camera once again and snap just a few shots of him. Out of the 326 pictures we took, here were our 7 favorite:

 

Video of Charlie Giggling

Things have been pretty hectic around House on Strathmore lately and the blog has been feeling the pain. Here's a little video of Charlie giggling. I know parents always say this but I swear he's the happiest baby I've ever seen. He is smiling from ear to ear all the time. It takes him a little to get into it on this video but it's worth the wait :)
